Virtual Desktop Seminar - Cutting through the Hype
09.00 – 11.00 am, BSG House, London, EC1V
- Thursday 24th September 2009
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure has taken off in the past 18 months, with widespread media coverage and a wealth of information available. The accelerated adoption of Server Virtualisation has heightened awareness of the benefits of consolidating Servers and IP in the data centre. Server Virtualisation has paved the way toward the adoption of a hosted desktop model. As a result, VDI is now seen as the de facto way of enabling higher asset utilisation and better PC management, without compromising the experience of the end user.
- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure can deliver:
- 70% reduction in power consumption and air conditioning
- 40% reduction in TCO
- 99.9% availability
- Desktop Business Continuity and DR
IT professionals are increasingly familiar with these benefits; however the multiple messages from the industry (VMware, Microsoft and Citrix) are confusing and often conflicting!
Join BSG for an event that will sift through the hype and explain how you should plan your VDI roadmap and select the most relevant technologies. This will help you to start implementing a suitable environment, and ensure you maximise the VDI cost savings and benefits you read about.
