Successfully Deploying Desktop and Application Virtualization
Most companies have already implemented server consolidation projects utilizing virtualization technologies, and have brought significant cost reductions to both capital and operational expenditures. Recent FOCUS research shows that the next priority for virtualization amongst advanced organizations is desktop virtualization. Companies are looking to leverage server, desktop and application virtualization technologies to bring order to the long-standing chaos of enterprise desktop management. But what are the available desktop and application virtualization technologies, and where/how do they apply in your environment? More importantly, how can your IT organization assess desktop requirements across the entire organization and leverage the appropriate technologies to deal with the unrelenting daily demands of provisioning, administering, securing and supporting hundreds or thousands of corporate desktops and applications for a wide variety of user types?
