Desktop virtualisation

Pressure to reduce IT costs as well as trends such as enterprise mobility and growing numbers of employee-owned devices entering the workplace are issues affecting all IT decision-makers. Faced with these developments, are you considering moving away from the traditional desktop and embracing virtualisation as a better way to operate your end-user environment?

In addition to enabling you to support new working styles and reduce costs, desktop virtualisation canbe a natural extension of server virtualisation initiatives, from which you've reaped impressive gains.

If you're setting off down the desktop virtualisation path, bear in mind that the server and desktop environments are not one and the same. Desktop virtualisation is in fact not a virtualisation project in its traditional sense. Rather, it's an application and desktop delivery initiative.

While the case for desktop virtualisation is compelling, in order to realise its advantages, you'll need to:

understand the impact on your user community
consider the ramifications on your current and future operating system, application and device strategy
evaluate your storage requirements
ensure you optimise the infrastructure required to support it.

If you're looking for more efficient, cost-effective ways to manage your desktop fleet, NGXSYS can assist.

We combine our understanding of the business drivers and technologies that enable desktop virtualisation with our expertise in Windows® desktop deployment, required infrastructure layers (network, data centre, and security) and applications that need to be optimised. This allows you to realise the true advantages of desktop virtualisation technologies.

From strategy and assessment, implementation of solutions and vendor technologies to network optimisation, we can support you at every stage of your virtual desktop journey.
