Desktop Virtualization

Installing and maintaining individual workstations can be a time-consuming, costly effort for most organizations, and supporting the users of the systems can sometimes be equally challenging.

VMware Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) provides the advantages of a Terminal or Citrix Presentation Server by supplying a stable, “locked down” desktop environment where user flexibility is tailored to the needs of each employee, but proves to be the more complete solution with benefits such as:

Live VM and storage migration
Dynamic load balancing
Granular user permissions
Supports storage array features and cluster file systems
Logical resource partitioning
Centralized Client OS Management
Centralized backup for VMs
Integrated DR orchestration (VMware SRM)
Rapid Client Deployment
Compliance with HIPAA and Sarbanes Oxley (SOX)
VM snapshots
Software lifecycle management tools
Audit trails, performance data
Fewer application compatibility issues than with Terminal Servers and Citrix because users have their own single-user OS
