Desktop Virtualisation

Empower your end users while maintaining IT control.

Desktop Virtualisation - also known as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) - is rapidly gaining traction within the enterprise. With Desktop Virtualisation, your desktops are hosted within a private cloud in your datacenter, and users access them from within the office or remotely.

Desktop Virtualisation simplifies the end user experience management process. A user can have a single desktop that they can access from anywhere, whether at their desk, a remote office or from home. Less user confusion, less helpdesk overhead.

Because each user connects to their own operating system instance, Desktop Virtualisation provides the platform to empower end users to do what they need to do - and gives IT the capability to let them do it in a controlled environment, without impacting on other users.

Reduce operational costs and increase manageability.

Desktop Virtualisation provides the following benefits:

• Reduced operational costs when compared to a PC-based solution.
• Higher flexibility and customisation than a traditional Citrix XenApp/Terminal Server solution.
  
• Higher application reliability, due to isolation of users and applications via hardware virtualization.
  
• Lower support and maintenance costs due to the ease with which the system and users can be supported.
• Data protection, by keeping company information in the datacenter.
• Flexibility, with functionality like offline VDI and instant deployment.
  
• Excellent user experience, by providing server power to the desktop and allowing a customisable desktop.
  

Applications that have typically required specialist equipment - such as CAD and graphics workstations - can now be hosted within a private virtual desktop cloud, with excellent end user experience.
