I also enjoy camping and being with my family. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions.
Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse.
Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles mostly Systems Engineer.
