Desktop Virtualization

Desktop Virtualization is an emerging technology that is rooted in the mature and battle-hardened Server Virtualization industry.

Virtualization offers unmatched desktop flexibility and agility, maximizes storage and efficiency, and provides backup and restoration abilities not available in the standard computing model. It has also proven to deliver significant operational cost savings and a secure and compliant desktop.

Desktop Virtualization Advantages

By balancing your needs, and those of your IT support staff, desktop virtualization enables you to:

• Improve data security
• Enforce corporate policies and remain compliant with all standard industry  regulations
• Reduce operational costs
• Enable end-user data backup and restoration
• Centralize and simplify patch and update management
• Reduce the cost and complexity of PC replacements/user migration

Through desktop virtualization technologies, our customers typically see a dramatic reduction in user downtime caused by PC issues. The centralization of desktop technologies also decreases the burden of support staff through increased efficiency and accessibility of the desktop environment.

In many cases, our desktop virtualization customers see a return on their investment in as few as 12-18 months.

Facilitates Recovery  

As an added benefit, desktop virtualization technology enables you to encapsulate an operating system, applications and any relevant data into the equivalent of a file, which can then easily be sent to an offsite storage facility for backup.

In the event of a disaster, this file can be called up and implemented almost immediately, shortening any downtime from days to hours, or even minutes. In addition, it offers the opportunity to secure and backup relevant end-user data in the same manner as any virtualized servers to improve consistency.
