I always get excited about desktop virtualization as this innovation has really transformed a normal desktop way of management to a fully virtualized way of management. With desktop virtualization, you can solve multiple issues related to the manageability of the current decentralized environment by virtualizing desktop operating systems, applications and user data, and decoupling these components from their underlying hardware. IT administrators can then centrally manage and provision these desktop components from the datacenter, creating a rapidly deployable private "desktop cloud" infrastructure. Key Benefits: Reduce operational costs by 50% Simplify desktop and application management Deliver rich user experiences on demand Standardize on a common virtualization platform Extend business continuity and disaster recovery to desktops You can deploy desktop in few c...

Consequently, there are often a large proliferation of servers and software withi... (more)

Journey Towards Cloud Computing

Reducing power needs is just one reason why enterprises in virtually all industries are consolidating data centers. Other reasons include assimilating systems from companies acquired in mergers and acquisitions; cost-cutting; replacing outmoded server hardware and software with newer, more efficient models; an...
