Introduction

Wyse Management Suite is the next generation management solution that lets you centrally configure, monitor, manage, and optimize

your Dell Wyse thin clients. The new Suite makes it easier to deploy and manage thin clients with high functionality and performance, and

ease of use. It also offers advanced feature options such as cloud versus on-premises deployment, manage-from-anywhere using a mobile

application, enhanced security such as BIOS configuration and port lockdown. Other features include device discovery and registration,

asset and inventory management, configuration management, operating system and applications deployment, real-time commands,

monitoring, alerts, reporting, and troubleshooting of endpoints.

Editions

Wyse Management Suite is available in the following editions:

• Standard (Free)—The standard edition of the Wyse Management Suite is only available for an on-premise deployment. You do not

require a license key to use the standard edition. The standard edition is suitable for small and medium businesses.

• Pro (Paid)—The pro edition of the Wyse Management Suite is available for both private and public cloud deployment. The pro edition

uses subscription-based licensing and requires a license key. With the Pro solution, organizations are able to adopt a hybrid model and

float your licenses between on-premises and cloud. The pro on-premise edition is suitable for small, medium, and large businesses. For

a cloud deployment, the pro edition can manage your devices on non-corporate networks (home office, third party, partners, mobile

thin clients, and so on). The pro edition of the Wyse Management Suite also provides:

• A mobile application to view critical alerts, notifications, and send commands in real time

• Enhanced security through two-factor authentication and active directory authentication for role-based administration

• Advanced app policy and reporting

NOTE:

• Cloud services are hosted in the US and Germany. Customers in countries with data residency restrictions may

not be able to take advantage of the Wyse management Suite pro cloud based service.

• The on-premise version of the Wyse management pro edition is a better solution for customers with data

residency restrictions.
