Dell announced today at Dell World a refresh to its OptiPlex commercial PC portfolio in five years and the Wyse 5050 AIO zero client for VMware. The OptiPlex line of PCs are secure commercial desktops with endpoint security solutions from Dell’s own Dell Data Protection suite that include encryption, authentication, malware protection and threat protection. OptiPlex is also the most manageable commercial desktop portfolio with Intel Core vPro processor technology and Client Command Suite.

The Wyse 5050 AIO is based on the Dell 24 monitor – P2414H. There are six USB ports, including four on the side of the chassis, and the zero client features rotating and detachable base.
