Desktop computing makes up an increasingly large part of enterprise computing infrastructure today. As distributed end points, desktops are difficult to secure, manage and maintain. Refresh cycles, compliance, ongoing maintenance and user support are huge undertakings. These challenges put IT resources under tremendous pressure and significantly increase total cost of ownership.

Desktop virtualization is not new, but to date, it has failed to gain widespread adoption. Server-Hosted Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) hosts individual Windows desktop PCs inside virtual machines running on servers in the data center. This thin-client architecture is significantly easier to secure, maintain and support and it enables an organization’s complete Windows desktop environment to be securely accessed and serviced centrally. This webcast will look at how this approach brings all the benefits of server virtualization to the desktop and changes the economics of desktop computing.
