Desktop Virtualization


Technology moves at breakneck speed. Technology upgrades typically do not. While there’s no doubt that having the latest technology increases productivity, remaining competitive requires a significant capital outlay to purchase new hardware and deploy it. For small and medium sized companies that have limited budgets and IT staff, keeping up with technology can be challenging, if not impossible. Compounding the technology upgrade challenge is the ever increasing number of employees who need computer and internet access to do their jobs. The proliferation of workstations and lap tops that have to be maintained, secured and replaced is a growing burden on even the most efficient and well-funded IT departments. According to Gartner Research, as much as 20% of the total IT budget of most companies is dedicated to client equipment and associated hardware. It’s no surprise that when Gartner recently polled its customers about priorities for 2011, 42% indicated that they plan to invest in desktop virtualization before the end of 2011.1 Addressing the PC proliferation problem is not just about saving money. It’s also about investing in what will make your business more competitive and more profitable. Only 20% of most IT budgets is dedicated to investment in innovation and growth according to Information Week. That’s the same percentage being dedicated to client equipment and associated hardware. Strategically, however, investing in new IT projects which can improve business agility, customer relations and employee efficiency is far more important than provisioning and maintaining a workstation for every employee.
