Desktop Virtualisation


Approaching Desktop Virtualisation


There is an immense amount of interest in Desktop Virtualisation as it has the potential, if implemented correctly, to reduce desktop costs, enhance security and compliance and improve manageability.


Organisations considering the change have many different priorities and perspectives; these include requirements for an outsourced model, hosted services, an alternative finance structure, compliance and security, flexible working and the migration to Windows 7.


We have experience in assisting customers through the entire range of differing service models and deployments and understand that a strong business case for Desktop Virtualisation is no guarantee of real-world success. Our solutions are built with scalability in mind to efficiently use existing resources.


Advantages in Desktop Virtualisation include:


 Improvements in data integrity, all data can be maintained and backed up centrally


 Simpler provisioning of new desktops  Longer refresh cycle for desktop estates  Acceleration and lower cost of deploying new applications


 Secure remote access to an enterprise desktop environment
