Desktop Virtualisation

Many organisations are looking beyond the server infrastructure to see how desktop virtualisation (VDI) solutions could bring efficiency and cost savings to the business.

Typically, the drivers for moving to virtual desktops include:

• Easier to deploy new software (OS upgrades and apps)
• Reduction of desktop management complexity
• Reduction of desktop infrastructure procurement costs
• Lower overall TCO for desktop inventory
• Improve security and control of the desktop environment
• An enabler for “bring your own PC” initiatives.

With VDI solutions, LAN2LAN are helping customers achieve these goals through a blended approach, which recognises that just as organisations have many types of user with differing requirements, so the solution for each may vary.

Full VDI, application streaming, stateless desktops and dedicated virtual machines through to roaming profiles and folder redirection are all components of a solution. Our differentiator is understanding your requirements and producing appropriate solutions.

Our designs incorporate best of breed VDI solutions from the industry leaders such as VMware, IBM, Microsoft and Citrix.

Key Areas addressed Desktop Virtualisation

• Migration of desktops to your datacentre
• New desktop operating systems can be managed centrally with no potential maintenance overheads
• True hot desking can be supported without the requirement for laptops
• Benefits for disaster recovery by providing end users with a true desktop that can be accessed from anywhere
• Hardware resources can be rationalised with pooled resources efficiently working to deliver computing power to the end user
• A thin client has a longer refresh cycle than a desktop because it is extremely reliable with no moving parts and is end-user replaceable
