The desktop computing landscape is evolving. As organizations and their   workforces become increasingly distributed and mobile, an explosion of   new end-user devices has exacerbated the challenges being faced by IT   departments. These challenges include ensuring data and device security   regardless of location, managing data and applications consistently across   the organization, and providing support for the myriad of emerging devices   and applications. Traditional computing has addressed the key customer pain   points in a limited fashion.   Dell’s new desktop computing vision — Flexible Computing — delivers validated solutions   (hardware, software, and services) that augment Dell’s traditional desktop offerings and   enable IT departments to navigate their increasingly complex environment.   Understanding that often the optimal flexible computing approach is a combination   of solutions, Dell developed the new OptiPlex FX160 flexible computing node that is   optimized for two of Dell’s Flexible Computing Solutions: On-Demand Desktop Streaming   and Virtual Remote Desktop. In doing so, customers can now confidently invest in a client   device that supports the right solution for today with the flexibility to support the needs   of tomorrow.
