Has your organization considered using virtualization services to increase mobility and business agility? Virtualization services separate the software from the hardware it’s installed on, which allows for isolation and installment on a more flexible virtual machine. This allows each piece of software to be accessed as an individual instance. One of the most useful applications of this technology is desktop virtualization.
According to Processor magazine, “virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) technologies give IT administrators more control over their infrastructure and in turn help IT teams deliver operating systems and applications to end users in new ways.” In other words, virtualization has the power to help your business surpass its infrastructure limitations and push beyond them, effectively allowing for easier growth.
There are a number of benefits that desktop virtualization can provide for your business, including:
- Consolidate your infrastructure: Limiting the amount of physical hardware your business needs to run can be one of the best benefits that virtualization offers. Rather than running many different workstations, you have the ability to switch to thin clients. These devices are much more energy-efficient and don’t require the heavy-duty hardware that an ordinary workstation would. The IT administrator has the ability to allocate resources equivelant to the needs of an individual machine, allowing for more versatility and control than an ordinary PC.
- Virtual desktops can be used remotely: Another great capability of virtual desktops is that they can be used remotely, as well as within the office, provided their devices have been approved. This lets them gain access to the same desktop and applications they would have if they were in the office. This is especially helpful if you have workers across the country, or on business trips.
- Simple integration and upgrade procedures: While the configuration of a virtual desktop solution can be tricky to implement in the beginning, these complications are nothing compared to the ease of upgrading later on. Instead of applying patches and updates to multiple different machines, the network administrator can dispatch updates to multiple virtual machines at once.
