A Three-Pronged Problem

Is your desktop environment risky, costly or inefficient? If you're still running each desktop from a client-side PC, it's probably all of the above. Not only is this method a drain on your IT resources, it also puts your organization at risk for serious security breaches. Plus, it burdens each client device with running the entire software stack, slowing down the computing process.

The Virtual Solution

Leading organizations are addressing these problems by optimizing their desktop environment with virtualization. Using virtualization, Datatrend shifts the workload traditionally done by the client device to the servers in your data center – no more hard drives or disk drives to worry about. The end-user experience is unchanged, but all the data and software is stored centrally and securely on your servers.

Advantages of desktop virtualization include:

• Reduces server idle time.
• Makes computing an on-demand service.
• Increases security – software, hardware and data are no longer exposed.
• Centralizes management and control.
• Lowers the total cost of ownership – perform patches and upgrades from a central location.
• Provides portability and flexibility.
• Reduces power consumption.
• Increases reliability and availability.
