Enterprise Desktop


It’s important when considering desktop virtualisation offerings from various vendors in the marketplace that you demand a complete solution involving both the offline as well as online users.

Client-side Solutions:
Still, IT requires greater control over remote desktops, particularly because there’s a risk that data may be stolen by copying information to portable media, or there may be unauthorised access to information from remote users.

The ideal scenario is to be able to work with a robust desktop image that is kept up-to-date and patched on a server and when it’s time to travel or work from home, take that same desktop with you portable media. That desktop image should be locked down and secure to protect the intellectual property of the organisation and ensure a PC used by an employee at home doesn’t transfer viruses to the network.

Server-hosted Solutions:
That’s why a complete desktop virtualisation offering needs to offer client-side and server-hosted solutions. Organisations can fold their desktop environments into their already efficient virtual infrastructure in the data center which is optimised for the minimum number of servers needed and runs automatic backups and resource optimisation for the organisation’s other computing tasks.

Desktop virtualisation can run off the same virtual servers and use the same management systems to ensure desktop resources are being used optimally.
