Centrix
Software,
a
provider of unified end-user computing solutions,
today announced it will
be demonstrating solutions that help organizations understand in detail the real
usage of applications, providing vital information to help plan desktop
transformation projects, such as desktop virtualization, at
this year’s VMworld
event, to be held in Las Vegas
on 29th August to 1st September 2011. The company will also be
demonstrating
updated products that enable organizations to deliver user-centric applications,
regardless of underlying technology.
Located
in the Innovator Pavilion at Booth 171-F, Centrix
Software will demonstrate the latest version of its Centrix
WorkSpace Suite,
a range of business technology solutions that enable organizations to analyze,
plan and deliver virtual environments and ensure they are optimized to meet user
needs. It will also unveil new
self-service features of WorkSpace 5.1 that allow organizations to manage the
on-demand delivery of applications from virtual, cloud and physical application
and provisioning environments.
For
organizations migrating to or expanding virtual environments, Centrix Solutions
will be demonstrating solutions for:
- Virtualization
Planning –
that help organizations determine the most cost effective approach to
application and desktop virtualization, the most viable candidates for
virtualization and the financial impact of implementing
virtualization.
- Virtualization
Implementation decision support
– that gather the details of what operating system licenses can be re-used, what
applications need to be available in a virtualized environment and who needs to
access them; how to define application group templates for virtual desktops; the
viability of devices as virtual desktop or application client machines;
anticipated workload on virtualization servers; who is using local printers, and
many other details that help inform choices in
virtualization.
- Analysing
virtualization server usage and demand
– providing reporting on the application inventory and usage demand on currently
virtualized servers, as well as the use of any App-V packaged applications. This
enables organizations to establish the appropriate license entitlement, whether
there are applications that can be removed from the servers and what the user
load on virtual servers really is.
- Usage
Reporting
– that quickly identify which users are on which applications, how frequently
and for how long. This provides intelligence for rationalizing IT infrastructure
and costs.
“Enterprise
organizations are making significant decisions about their application and
desktop strategies against a backdrop of tight cost control and intense
organizational pressure,” said Lewis Gee, Vice President Worldwide Sales and
Marketing for Centrix Software. “At
VMworld this year we are showing organizations how they can gather the critical
information and intelligence data they need to ensure they make the best
technology decisions for their organizations and new technology investments and
services deliver fast return and business value.”
