Dell has updated its commercial line of OptiPlex desktops with new small form factor PCs that provide organisations a robust, energy-efficient platform for flexible, secure and reliable desktop computing.

The new desktop systems demonstrate Dell’s commitment to customer-inspired design and solutions that scale for future growth with long-life-cycle support options and the ability to support alternative computing environments such as Dell’s Flex Computing Solutions – Virtual Remote Desktop and On-Demand Desktop Streaming environments, said a statement.

Dell’s new OptiPlex 780 Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) is the world’s smallest fully functional commercial desktop with integrated power supply and Intel vPro technology. This mainstream desktop PC is ideal for space constrained environments providing durable, ‘mount anywhere’ options and a simplifying all-in-one stand.

Designed for customers in emerging countries and businesses looking for cost-efficient productivity solutions with room to expand as their businesses grow, the OptiPlex 380 provides platform stability and systems management tools, security options and an easy to service enclosure.

The new OptiPlex 380 family is available in three form factors – Minitower, Desktop and Small Form Factor – providing greater flexibility with more form factor options than the HP Compaq dx2400 and the Lenovo ThinkCentre A58.

“The death of the commercial desktop has been greatly overstated,” said John Coulston, head of Marketing, Dell Middle East.

“We are seeing customers look to deploy small form factor systems in ways never before imagined. These new desktop systems provide a rock solid foundation which Dell is known for while providing long-lifecycle and secure capabilities in key areas such as client virtualisation and systems management.”-TradeArabia News Service
