Dynabook has announced the Dynabook Mobile Secure Client (DMSC), which is designed to enable seamless hybrid working via a Mobile Secure Client that provides enhanced IT security and manageability to IT teams, as well as workers’ freedom of mobility.
With Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments expected to grow at a more than 20% CAGR from $15 billion globally in 2021 to $55 billion by 2028, DMSC ensures Dynabook’s portfolio of business computing solutions fully caters to organizations requiring a VDI, whether due to strict security standards, the need for simplified manageability, or a combination of the two.
“With DMSC, organisations can deploy hybrid working easily, delivering mobility, unconstrained experience and complete productivity within an ultra-secure VDI environment,” said Damian Jaume, President, Dynabook Europe GmbH. “We’re seeing a growing demand for VDI within certain business segments, and the arrival of DMSC caters for such customers looking for seamless manageability and robust security, while still enabling the device flexibility and customisation users need to remain productive today.”
DMSC enables organizations to easily create an efficient office-like experience in the hybrid era while maintaining full compliance and security control. This is especially useful in industries that handle a large amount of confidential and classified information, as well as those using a device sharing, device rental, or Desktop-as-a-Service model that requires quick and simple deployment.
DMSC makes life easier for IT teams in terms of manageability. IT setup is minimized because Dynabook tailors devices to specific customer requirements upon order, which means they are delivered directly to the end-user and ready to use right away. Simply put, organizations can deploy from Dynabook’s factory to any location without the need for configuration.
Dynabook’s engineers also prepare operational and security updates, including customer requirements, for simple targeted estate deployment, removing significant workload from the end-user. This combination of pre-configuration and low ongoing maintenance results in additional time and cost savings, such as a reduction in the need for IT support.
Supporting the leading VDI providers, DMSC fits seamlessly into existing VDI infrastructures and offers robust security for organisations operating within the most sensitive of environments. This includes guarding against data theft by using an encrypted IoT Operating System that is loaded into the system RAM with each boot. No access is permitted to the IoT OS itself, and system RAM is purged at power-down with no VDI session data cached or retained.
At each boot, and during each session, DMSC communicates with an authentication server to verify it still has permission to operate. By doing this, any client that becomes suspected of being compromised can be remotely shutdown and prevented from further operation.
Dynabook’s range of DMSC devices also benefit from the added security of Dynabook’s proprietary BIOS. As the only PC vendor to build and maintain its BIOS in-house, the risk of third-party interference is eliminated, ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of security measures being taken at higher levels.
DMSC outperforms traditional zero and thin client solutions in terms of security by securely booting into a protected OS that allows some user interface customization, with no session data stored or cached outside the system memory. End users will benefit from a comprehensive set of ports and Type-C docking options, as well as optional integrated LTE. Meanwhile, accessibility and external display controls, brightness control, and volume control allow employees to personalize the device.
Dynabook now provides full security and compliance across the entire mobile computing environment, catering to the needs of all organizations, thanks to DMSC. From July 2022, Dynabook’s award-winning MIL-STD tested range of business laptops, as well as its unique and award-winning DE200 mobile edge computing device, will be available with DMSC.
