1 Introduction Wyse Management Suite v1.1 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.
2 Hardware requirements The following table lists the prerequisites to deploy Wyse Management Suite on a single server or virtual server on private cloud: Table 1. Hardware requirements Description 10000 devices or less 50,000 devices or less Operating system Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 or Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Supported language pack—English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
3 Wyse Management Suite architecture This chapter contains the installer components of the Wyse Management Suite. The following are the Wyse Management Suite installer components: • WMS Web Application—Application Server that hosts Wyse Management Suite. • Memcached—Used to Cache data for performance and scalability. • MQTT—Used for push notifications to devices. • MongoDB—Database used for devices, configurations. • MariaDB—SQL Database for performance and scalability. Figure 1.
4 Deployment architecture This chapter contains the deployment architecture details for Wyse Management Suite v1.1. The Wyse Management Suite v1.1 supports up to 1,20,000 connected devices. The single server deployment solution is easy to maintain, and you have an option to deploy Wyse Management Suite, using multiple servers depending on your deployment scenario. You can also deploy customize your deployment for 50,000 devices or more number of devices depending on the deployment setup.
The minimum hardware requirement on a single server for 1,20,000 devices is: Table 3. Hardware specification Application detail Hardware specification Wyse Management Suite 1.1 16 CPUs, 32 GB RAM, 200 GB HDD Figure 3. Single server deployment — 1,20,000 devices FE MQTT Servers separated from the Wyse Management Server This section explains about the architecture of FE MQTT Servers separated from the Wyse Management Suite server.
Deployment architecture with a separated database server This section explains about the deployment architecture of Wyse Management Suite with a separated database server. MongoDB and MariaDB may be on the same server or on its own individual servers. The following diagram depicts the deployment architecture of Wyse Management Suite with a separated database server. Figure 5.
5 Deploying and configuring Wyse Management Suite This chapter describes the deployment and configuration of Wyse Management Suite v1.1 on a single server to support up to 1,20,000 devices. The tasks involved in deploying Wyse Management Suite v1.1 on a single server are: • Preparing the server • Configuring DNS • Installing Wyse Management Suite v1.1 You need to perform the following steps to deploy Wyse Management Suite v1.
