This acceptance of desktop virtualization with business strategies is the first of a two-part series. In this section, a number of IT managers and business experts like the sound of the answer to the problem to discuss trends make it easier for desktop virtualization. The second section, the virtual desktop technology companies along the way, and delves into how the distribution of the challenges they face.
Desktop virtualization has become tables. Once IT departments defended the technology to solve the headaches and security of the administrative office, and insist that if the company is in a pot pourri of solving business problems pushed for the use of desktop virtualization.
Honeywell International Inc., SAP and other end users iPads IOS devices that want access to an application based on Flash, but that does not support Flash devices. End users can also bring your own model of support device (BYOD) printing company, and technicians, the conglomerate of customers in the aerospace, automotive and other sites need to provide support for distance for customers.
Baiju Shait, Lead Security Engineer at Honeywell, the company is exploring ways to deal with large data assets while maintaining these conditions. Comes with a desktop virtualization solution.
Installed on a virtual machine running on an image of Windows to "see" and a machine or business applications based on mobile equipment, the same user experience that if you can get with Flash, Shait said. A virtual office-based Internet, all traffic entering the network through the creation of Honeywell. So, most likely a virus to transfer directly to the network of Honeywell and remote technical support to solve the problem and the customer support and technical option they wish to use any device driver that supports BYOD .
Time Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. division, Angelo Salerno, enterprise architecture and engineering, vice president of SGI, the Warner Bros. 10,000 users a "desktop virtualization road curved" There are two basic reasons: "CFO CIO touched my shoulder and [office] cost of ownership he asked, and that virtualization can save money and expedite the hearing of this cause will be three years for the release of Windows 7.”
All maritime workers, managers, developers, support or task to select the object to the cost of desktop virtualization is a key component of the interest until last year. According to Gartner, in 2010 was estimated at 1.4 cost of maintaining an organized office and a desktop PC in terms of physical infrastructure and the skills to keep the cost of 1.7 times.
"Organizations should see a rapid return on investment [desktop hosted on the server] are not," San Diego, Chris Wolf, the catalysts of this year's conference, Gartner, he said. "It's a strategic investment in the long term, reduce the total cost of ownership - is three to five years, -. [Working] 10% or fewer equivalents to the reduction of costs "based on information from the customer early adopters of desktop virtualization, Gartner said.
Therefore, cost savings, at least in the short term, there is still a business justification for desktop virtualization. However, the purchase of desktop software and traditional cycles upgrade equipment or to redirect the money would be spent.
Dustin Fennell 11,000 students each semester and more than 1,000 employees in Arizona, Scottsdale Community College, are vice president and CIO. Traditional universities to upgrade technology hardware and software conversion (including support costs) for the support, and desktop virtualization technologies will be used to re-budget received.
"I was not in the organization and say," I am in the four years to reduce our operating expenses and return on invested capital of $ 2 million will be needed to make this great project, “Gartner Fennell said during a presentation at the conference.” In fact, an inefficient and costly technology to date to protect what will happen, and it took money to support new [Desktop Virtualization] project funding is directed. "
Omen of what lies ahead for companies in the virtualization project office at the college
A university in many federal, state, or as a business organization in the field of health care or financial assistance subject to tight security, Scottsdale Community College, but the reasons for the adoption of the company's virtualization technology, office services in many ways both inside and outside the corporate campus, this model, or soon will be:
- University of the total IT budget and performance was cut from 2008.
- Fennell technology to expand access and non-traditional students (distance students around the world) has a duty to help the university administrations. "
- IT consumers, wherever they are or what device, for students and teachers to find a way to present data and applications, forcing the university.
- Office support to the old - update patches a few times, and thousands of them - was not sustainable nor profitable.
To support the diversity of students and teachers prefer to use a model that has proven to be difficult, especially at the end of the device and had to use approved devices only finished with university policy. Now, "Use what you want and support," said Fennell.
How different device options for students? All classes and practices, access to the PlayStation 3 was a student. A Web interface to access the university IT department is now providing students and teachers, this device can be adapted. There, a name and password for Active Directory users to connect to the gateway provides a virtual private network or VPN tunnel and the only services available for them too.
This approach to the measurement of office, server-based computing, and hosted applications, hosted applications, a local installation of computer operating system, desktop virtualization and operating system technologies and the flow is a series of virtual technologies.
A rule, all the people: "If you listen to the marketing hype, [technology virtual desktop infrastructure]," he said. "That's not true," said Fennell. "As with any project, we use various tools to provide an adequate solution."
People-centered computer animations
Kurt Gartner indicates that the desktop virtualization as a facilitator for the human-centered computing, inevitably, many companies believe that the model would have had to endure to maintain relevance. People-centered place of their choice of computer users, from any device, and provides access to data and applications.
"[] Written applications and data," says Wolf. "I can use a wide range of devices. You have an affinity for a particular operating system to do my job and try to get my applications and data. It's that simple," he said.
Another factor pushing companies to desktop virtualization? Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), IT managers and professionals based on the spread of applications. SaaS applications that require secure access to remote applications. Do not support this model can lead to user dissatisfaction, and some are longer for these services to computer science. Any device that supports a users desktop virtualization, SaaS applications allow you to maintain control over user access, anywhere, access to data.
Desktop virtualization in many business and IT issues of service delivery, dilemmas may seem like a direct answer, but with her managers and experts will discuss the construction of infrastructure to support such as desktop virtualization is not as simple as the second part of this series.
