Overview
If you’re already looking at virtualisation then you’ve probably considered the benefits of virtualising your desktop environment too. The days of the traditional PC desktop and its lifecycle of buying kit, deploying it, maintaining it and its managed disposal – are without doubt, numbered.
By using virtual desktop technology, you give your employees the capability to access their desktop as if it were an ordinary PC. The benefits are simply huge, particularly if your IT team and resources find themselves constantly supporting the desktop.
Benefits
- Streamlined management and deployment of desktops and applications
- Full system support with built in service levels
- No need for new, expensive hardware or servers
- No need to buy Microsoft Office suite licences ever again (Vendor licensing compliance)
- Scalable pricing per user, per month
- Multiple-level security and adherence to company policies
- Advanced email filtering to eliminate viruses and SPAM
- Server updates become a thing of the past leaving your team free to focus on innovation and developing business opportunities
What else do you need to consider?
- With a virtualised infrastructure, you could ensure your systems and applications are always available in another location, giving you a secondary backup and alternate working location for staff
- Is your IT environment ready for virtualisation? Then talk to us about a Capacity Planning exercise.
