Dell is offering a new way to deliver centralized desktop computing within an enterprise. During a conference call with reporters and analysts on Oct. 10, the Round Rock, Texas, company introduced a new set of software, hardware and services under the umbrella title of "On-Demand Desktop Streaming." The computing solution, according to Dell executives, offers a start-to-finish desktop computing environment for office workers.
The individual desktop images, Clark said, are managed by Citrix's Provisioning Server for Desktops software, which will deliver Microsoft Windows XP or Vista operating systems and Windows applications from the data center to the individual desktop. The Citrix software is based on the software streaming technology it acquired when the company purchased Ardence in December 2006.
