We are deploying WDM and replacing our thinOS devices with Z90S7/D7 embedded devices for flash performance and BW savings. Our remote offices only have a router, switch, IPT handsets and thhhe WYSE devices – no servers. We are looking for an inexpensive NAS appliance that will work with WDM’s odd FTP requirements so we can deploy images from these local repositories. So far we have tried DLINK (DNS-323) and Lacie devices with no luck.

What have others used with success with recent versions of WDM?

Remote Repositories have a limitation that the “root” folder must be the same name as the username. This means that the username rapport for instance needs to land in a folder named rapport when establishing an FTP connection to the share. This can easily be done using windows or linux FTP shares however when using a NAS we are unable to find one with this functionality. It will always put the user in the the root (“”) folder. we have tested with a Lacie and DLink (DNS-323) so far.

Looking for anyone that has successfully implemented a NAS solution for remote repositories for WDM.

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. 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. 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. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. 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. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
