Client Virtualization Technology 

Streamlined operations for a better bottom line

A virtual environment offers some unique benefits for managing desktops, workstations, and other client systems. Virtual client management deployed across an enterprise IT infrastructure can help ensure that the flow of business never stops—from to supply chain partners, to employees, to customers.

Simplify Client Management

Virtualization’s ability to separate hardware and software management issues through discreet virtual systems can enhance network performance and reduce management costs.

Reduce Dependency on Inefficient, Outdated hardware

Virtual client systems can also help lower a company’s ongoing energy expenses. Virtualization lets IT managers clear out old, out-of-warranty machines that require more power and cooling and consolidate core business applications on today’s more energy-efficient models.

In addition to energy savings, virtualization can also enable a simplified IT infrastructure that helps companies migrate to the latest hardware features for security and data protection without disrupting core business functions.

Client Virtualization Technologies

• Client Side Virtualization - Operating systems such as the new Microsoft Windows 7 ship with a feature called Windows XP Mode, which allows for these two Operating Systems to run separately, in a secure and uninterrupted fashion. Client hypervisors provide this capability.
• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure - A hardware virtualization layer is added to the data center server (or servers) in place of a more traditional operating system; client virtual machines are hosted on these servers
• BladePC - Server-style blades that reside in a secure data center and hold the same basic components as traditional desktop computers
• OS Streaming - Operating system streaming delivers the speed, flexibility, and power of a centrally managed, full PC, without requiring a significant infrastructure upgrade or overloading the existing network.
• Terminal Services - Providing remote access to a desktop through thin client software, allowing the client computer to serve as a terminal emulator.
