VMware View. Sounds like a good day to be in IT.
Sequel Data, VMware, and HP will be hosting a free event were you will discover how to improve the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications through virtualization. Your staff will handle double or triple the number of servers and desktops, giving users access to the services they need while retaining centralized control. Deliver built-in availability, security, and performance across the board, from the desktop to the datacenter.
Where:
Dallas Cowboys Stadium

IDC's analysis of organizations adopting a centralized virtual desktop (CVD) computing environment with the use of VMware View shows that investment in the technology can result in significant business value with very high return on investment (ROI). IDC's analysis also yielded the following observations:
-
Organizations deploying VMware View saved on average over $610 per supported end user per year compared with organizations using unmanaged PCs. Savings came from lower device and IT staff support costs - over $480 - and improved productivity (reduced downtime) - over $130.
-
Organizations leveraging the advanced capabilities available in VMware View Premier, such as ThinApp application virtualization and View Composer image management, saved an additional $122 per year compared with organizations that had not deployed ThinApp and View Composer with VMware View.
-
To maximize the value associated with the adoption of centralized virtual desktops, organizations must be aware of the limitations of the platform, such as performance, mobile access, and datacenter capacity.

Of the technologies currently available, hypervisors represent the most recent addition to the set of tools that can be used to efficiently manage PC environments. After a tremendous growth in demand for the use of hypervisors for server virtualization to enable hardware consolidation as well as other capabilities, hypervisors are now being applied to the desktop environment in various ways. In many cases, legacy hypervisor platforms are installed on physical PCs to provide users with the ability to run multiple isolated and unique desktops on one physical PC, enabling users to run a Windows OS and Mac OS side by side on the same PC, for example.
More recently, IT organizations have been leveraging server virtualization for the purposes of hosting multiple isolated and unique desktop environments, which end users access remotely from their desks through thin clients. This model is referred to by IDC as centralized virtual desktops.
The use of hypervisor technology as an infrastructure for desktops enables a far more flexible architecture. The elimination of the logical bond between physical PC hardware and the applications delivered by the PC can significantly simplify the many tasks necessary for the management of the PC. By using this new architecture, IT organizations can more effectively and efficiently manage their desktop environments, particularly for end users who are largely outside the lasso of existing desktop management tools.
