Wyse Management Suite announced at Citrix Synergy

Earlier this week during the Citrix Synergy Dell announced the availabilty of the new management suite for Dell Wyse Thin Clients, called Wyse Management Suite 1.0.

WMS is technically very similar to the Cloud Client Manager. Therefore CCM will now be renamed to WMS. However, WMS will be available in three versions.
The Standard version will be on-premise solution, it is free of charge and can be installed in the local datacenter.
The Pro version will be available as on-premise and public cloud offering. This version is subscription based that includes per seat cost, maintenance and ProSupport.

CCM customer do not have to do anything. They are automatically migrated to the new WMS.
If you are using WDM, you should stay with it for now. Later Dell will release a migration path at no cost, if you want to go from WDM to WMS.
