White Paper: “Infrastructure Optimization via Desktop Virtualization”
To address this issue of improving capacity utilization, more and more companies and information technology departments are implementing infrastructure solutions, such as server and storage consolidation through virtualization. With the promise of a new day rising upon the desktop environment, companies are taking a 'return-to-the-mainframe' mentality, leveraging these same solutions, and in many cases, the same IT skills, to re-deploy desktops. Via mainframe-inspired System x x86 server hardware located within the datacenter, the entire desktop operating system and application stack can be virtualized, delivering the complete multimedia experience that users have become accustomed to, but without the security concerns and spiraling management costs of the traditional 'fat client' PC approach.read more
Virtualization from Desktop to Datacenter
Virtualization comes in many forms, and by combining multiple technologies, enterprises can transform the way they deploy and manage their software. This session will examine how an enterprise can combine the use of layer-2 'desktop' hypervisor technology, layer-1 dedicated server virtualization software and next-generation management software to rapidly speed the rate at which they can develop and deploy new software within their enterprise. With software developers able to easily create and encapsulate software within virtual machine containers, and then speed this through staging and deployment, enterprises benefit from radical cost reduction and increased time to market. It will also radically simplify complex IT tasks, such as: patching and compliance reporting. This session will include case studies and live technology demonstrations.read more
