HP announced the expansion of its client virtualisation offerings for businesses. The company unveiled the HP 4320t Mobile Thin Client, designed to meet the security and reliability needs of remote and mobile workers, and expanded multimedia capabilities for its desk-based thin client line.

The company also announced that the HP Compaq Elite Business Desktops and HP EliteBook Notebook PCs are the first platforms expected to be designated Citrix Ready for the new Citrix XenClient hypervisor technology. As desktop virtualisation adoption accelerates, there is an increasing demand for reliable mobile thin clients for remote users. The new HP 4320t Mobile Thin Client enables secure access to server-based, virtual PC or blade PC computing solutions while providing the mobility of a reliable notebook PC. The 1.95kg HP 4320t features a new brushed aluminium metal finish for refined simplicity and durability with a clean appearance.

Its sleek design includes a spill-resistant keyboard and integrated touchpad. The addition of the HP 4320t Mobile Thin Client to HP’s thin client product line-up extends HP’s broad virtualisation portfolio and ongoing investment strategy in remote client virtualisation solutions. HP’s client virtualisation portfolio includes thin clients, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and blade client hardware. Each reference architecture can be scaled to meet changing business needs, and can be complemented by a full portfolio of HP services including planning, implementation, support and hosting.
