Virtualizing Windows applications and desktops in the data center or cloud has compelling security, mobility and management benefits, but delivering real-time voice and video in a virtual environment is a challenge. A poorly optimized implementation can increase costs and compromise user experience. Server scalability and bandwidth efficiency may be less than optimal, and audio-video quality may be degraded.
Enabling voice and video with a bundled solution in an existing Citrix environment delivers clearer and crisper voice and video than legacy phone systems. This solution guide describes how Sennheiser headsets combine with Citrix infrastructure and IGEL endpoints to provide a better, more secure user experience. It also describes how to deploy the bundled Citrix-Sennheiser-IGEL solution.
Desktop and application virtualization is one of the primary ways how businesses reduce CapEx and OpEx, improve time to market, efficiency, increase control, and expand connectivity. VDI enables users to now access their desktops hosted in a data center server as virtual machines, which can be accessed from laptops and thin clients. Although desktop virtualization has existed for many years, many implementers of the technology have discovered that significant hurdles need to be overcome to fully reap its benefits.This document defines a set of architectural blocks for building a multitenant, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure in and application services on the Cloudistics platform.This document includes 2 major sections:
To deliver a desktop hosting solution, service provider partners can leverage Windows Server and the Windows Desktop Experience feature to deliver Windows users a highly performant application experience that is familiar to business users and consumers.
Many large enterprises are moving important applications from traditional physical servers to virtualized environments, such as VMware vSphere in order to take advantage of key benefits such as configuration flexibility, data and application mobility, and efficient use of IT resources.
Realizing these benefits with business critical applications, such as SQL Server or SAP can pose several challenges. Because these applications need high availability and disaster recovery protection, the move to a virtual environment can mean adding cost and complexity and limiting the use of important VMware features. This paper explains these challenges and highlights six key facts you should know about HA protection in VMware vSphere environments that can save you money.
Enterprise IT is embracing multi-cloud as the go-to model for cloud deployments. By 2019, nearly 81% of enterprises will have adopted a multi-cloud strategy. While this trend gives organizations more flexibility overall, it puts added pressure on IT teams to manage backup and recovery in a more complex environment.To reduce complexity and lower costs, it is imperative to deploy a single platform that consolidates management for all of your needs - including both on-premises infrastructure and any public cloud platform you choose.Which features and functions give you the best opportunity for multi-cloud success?This special white paper, developed in conjunction with TechTarget, outlines the key factors to consider in maximizing your multi-cloud strategy to achieve:
The introduction of virtualization technology has radically changed software architecture. This technology has made it possible to scale your infrastructure without the huge footprint traditionally required by multiple physical servers.
Originally developed by Microsoft, Hyper-V is a native hypervisor that creates virtual machines and allows for administrators to effectively and efficiently manage resources on a host server. Hyper-V is used to monitor uptime along with bandwidth utilization, CPU and RAM consumption, as well as perform backups and allocate resources.
