Our Workspace Our workspace is where we make decisions and get things done. With smartphones, laptops, and tablets, our workspaces are potentially more mobile than ever.

What Traditional IT Looks Like Fixed-location workstations dominate. Buy hardware for every individual user. Install OS, applications, and user profiles on every individual PC. Maintain updates, patches, OS rollouts, and security standards for every individual PC. Buy hardware for networking and back-up. Scramble when you need a new office up and running quickly, or worse, you have a data disaster.

Why Are Traditional PCs So Expensive? Initial hardware cost Configuration, installation, and daily maintenance Staffing a help desk Cost of user downtime

Desktop Virtualization—An Elegant Solution Data centers of today have made the infrastructure investment, so you don’t have to. Package single images in the data center. Dynamically assemble virtual desktops for each user. Move/Add/Change users with ease. Roll out a new OS in a fraction of the time. Apply patches and updates once for your entire network. Users can access from any device, anytime, from anywhere they have internet connection. Reduces management costs. Makes enterprise-level security and redundancy available to SMB.

What About Different Types of Users? Delivery technology supports every major VDI model in a single, flexible, integrated solution. Hosted shared desktops when you require lock downs. Standardized desktops for tasks users. Hosted virtual desktops for average processing needs. Blade PCs deliver hosted power users heavy processing power. Desktop streaming delivering virtual desktops to on-site users connected to your LAN. Virtual applications provide off-line applications to existing desktops.

Desktop Virtualization Can … Deliver any combination of these technologies orchestrated in one centrally managed solution. Provide the same high performance users expect from local PCs. Ensure you never deal with another patch, update, or application conflict. Centralize data protection. Deliver high performance desktops wherever and however needed.

How Can Desktop Virtualization Lower Your TCO? Manage OS, applications, and security in the data center. Provision thousands of virtual desktops in seconds. Help desk support, back-ups, and security can be run entirely from the data center. Down-time is practically eliminated. These properties add up to big savings, increasing workforce productivity, and optimizing TCO.

Migrating in Phases Minimizes Costs and Maximizes Efficiency Roll out virtual desktops in phases. Immediately replace obsolete PCs with inexpensive thin clients. Older PCs not ready for replacement can run a hosted desktop. Any recently purchased PCs can run a streaming desktop right away. Over time, migrate all PCs from streaming desktops to hosted desktops to thin clients. Minimizes and spreads out your acquisition costs, lowering your TCO.

Desktop Virtualization Just Makes Sense Reduce expenses. Provide better internal and external support. Easily control business growth.
