Desktop computing has and remains a key component of the IT enterprise. The issue is, that as distributed end-points Desktop PC's are exceedingly difficult to manage, maintain and secure and becoming increasingly so.
Today, the highest cost component for Desktop PC's relates to operational costs. These costs include finding and retaining staff, individual device management, device security, software patching, backup and support. Spending on operational costs alone is higher than for every other component combined ie: software, hardware and physical housing.
THE KEY QUESTION is how to reduce the cost and improve the reliability of Desktop computing. A new approach to desktop computing which is gaining wider acceptance is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
- VDI combines all of the benefits and flexibility of server virtualisation with the power and personalisation of traditional PC based desktop computing.
- VDI addresses many of the inherent constraints and costs associated with traditonal Desktop PC based architectures.
