Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Applications | Anywhere

The shared resources model inherent in desktop virtualization offers advantages over the traditional model, in which every computer operates as a completely self-contained unit with its own operating system, peripherals, and application programs.

Overall hardware expenses may diminish as users can share resources allocated to them on an as-needed basis. Virtualization potentially improves the data integrity of user information because all data can be maintained and backed-up in the data center.

Advantages include:

• simpler provisioning of new desktops
• reduced downtime in the event of server or client hardware-failures
• lower cost of deploying new applications
• desktop image-management capabilities
• longer refresh cycle for client desktop infrastructure
• secure remote access to an enterprise desktop environment
