Dell Moves Forward With Project Ophelia Cloud Device
By Jeffrey Burt
Dell’s Device Offers Big Possibilities in a Small Package
Dell’s Project Ophelia device is a bit larger than a traditional USB memory stick, but it is designed to give users access to their entire PC environment.
Connecting Ophelia to a Display
The Wyse Cloud Connect can be connected to any display via the device’s HDMI/MHL connector.
Making Room for a MicroSD Card
The Micro SD slot enables customers to use a microSD memory card.
Making More Connections
Ophelia will come with a mini USB 2.0 host port.
Powering Dell’s Ophelia
The device includes a micro USB OTG (On the Go) port, which can be used with the HDMI cable to power it up.
Giving the Device a Name
For months now, the device was referred to by its code name, Project Ophelia. The FCC documents finally brought an official name to it: Wyse Cloud Connect.
A Peek Inside the Device
Users will be able to leverage Dell’s Wyse software to remotely access and manage files, stored on PCs, servers or mobile devices through virtualization technology from VMware, Citrix Systems and Microsoft’s Hyper-V.
Ophelia Will Rival Google’s Chromecast
Google in July rolled out Chromecast, a $35 dongle that plugs into a high-definition TV and streams content to the TV via a smartphone, tablet or PC that is running Android, Microsoft’s Windows OS or Apple’s iOS. The Wyse Cloud Connect has some differences, but a similar goal.
