Ovum: Igel's Security Enhancements for Thin Clients
Ovum: Igel's Security Enhancements for Thin Clients
Topics: IGEL, Ovum, Thin Client, MDM, DaaS, VDI
Thin client vendor Igel is enhancing the security capabilities of its products, both under its own steam and in collaboration with technology partners. Ovum sees these developments as important for the next wave of thin client computing, which will be software-based – particularly if the desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) market is to take off.

With hardware-based thin client shipments in the region of 4–5 million units annually, this market is still a drop in the ocean compared to the 270 million PCs shipping each year, though the latter figure has been declining since 2011. And within the thin client market, Igel is in fourth place behind Dell and HP (each at around 1.2 million units annually) and China’s Centerm, which only sells into its home market.

However, the future for thin clients looks bright, in that the software-based segment of the market  (which some analyst houses refuse to acknowledge) is expanding, particularly for Igel. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) technology has stimulated this growth, but the greatest promise is probably in the embryonic DaaS market, whereby enterprises will have standard images for their workforce hosted by service providers.

The Total Economic Impact of ControlUp
The Total Economic Impact of ControlUp
Topics: ControlUp, Forrester, digital employee experience management, real-time performance monitoring, digital employee experience, end-user experience, end-user experience monitoring
ControlUp commissioned Forrester to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study to examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying the ControlUp digital employee experience (DEX) management platform.
The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential economic impact of ControlUp on their organizations. To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed an organization with experience using ControlUp. Forrester used this experience to project a three-year financial analysis.

The customer did a brief proof of concept with ControlUp. Not only did the customer identify issues while using ControlUp that it hadn’t identified with its previous solution, it learned the benefit of utilizing a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that could be quickly installed and used. Learn how a ControlUp customer achieved benefits of more than $3.4 million to:
  • Optimize resources across their EUC environment
  • Save on labor costs for Help Desk and EUC Administrators
  • Eliminate software licensing and services

How to Sell Disaster Recovery to Senior Management
How to Sell Disaster Recovery to Senior Management
Topics: DRaaS, DR, Disaster Recovery, Buisness Continuity, 11:11 Systems, 1111 Systems
Are you having trouble selling DR to Senior Management? This white paper gives you strategies for getting on the same page as senior management in implementing a DRaaS solution.
Are you having trouble selling DR to Senior Management? One reason relates to common attitudes towards risk. While people are risk averse and willing to pay to mitigate risk, they do so only when their own money is at stake. When company money is on the line, they’re far more willing to take risks. As a Senior Analyst at Forrester Research has said, “Organizations are willing to accept far more risk than I would have ever thought possible.”

Another reason for this challenge is that organizations, like yours, believe that they have a comprehensive DR program, when, in fact, their program is incomplete. Organizations often implement backup/recovery hardware and software, but fail to consider the processes necessary to implement a full solution.

This white paper gives you strategies for getting on the same page as senior management regarding DR. These strategies include:
•    Striking the use of the term “disaster” from your vocabulary making sure management understands the ROI of IT Recovery
•    Speaking about DR the right way—in terms of risk mitigation
•    Pointing management towards a specific solution.
