Desktop virtualisation, client virtualisation or thin client computing can help prevent the high risk of losing confidential or sensitive information held locally on PC's - or the growing time and costs required to manage the demands of each desktop user.
In addition, following recent budget cuts or freezes, many companies are working on an ageing desktopestate that needs either considerable server upgrade or even replacement if the company is to benefit from advances in new server software and applications.
Many companies have considered or recently completed server virtualisation and are looking at taking the next step.
Using centralised servers to carry out the work rather than local machines will:
- Likely DOUBLE the service life of end-user devices such as desktops from 3-5 years to 6-10 years. In capital costs, that is likely to be a cost saving of £500 per user!
- Allow significant cost savings via centralised management of the desktop estate
- Ensure that sensitive and confidential information is centrally stored, managed and backed up
- Reduce downtime and increase the speed of deployment of new software, applications and patches
We partner with Citrix (XenDesktop), VMware (View) and Microsoft (Hyper –V and Terminal Services) with direct support provided by HP to ensure we can integrate client virtualisation into a single package for you.
