Virtual Desktop Research Library

If you’re part of an IT organization that serves hundreds or thousands of employees, the desktop environment creates huge challenges. For starters, there’s the cost of ownership. While most desktop devices are inexpensive to buy, they are costly to own. Gartner estimates that an end-user desktop might cost you up to $5,386 per user per year to own and operate.

What’s driving up the costs? For one, you have the labor-intensive desktop management and technical support. Too often, valuable system administrators end up spending time on routine tasks like password resets. Management time is also lost to the inefficiencies associated with vulnerability and patch management for a mix of PC images. When you have products from multiple PC vendors, multiple models from the same vendor, and a variety of different access devices, you face expensive support and a range of refresh cycles.

This solution provides a centralized approach to managing your desktop environment and protecting the information within it. It brings the far-reaching benefits of industry-standard servers and shared storage to your desktop environment, while delivering a full virtual PC experience.
