IT managers today are facing more viruses, security threats, security updates, and data protection issues than ever before. Maintaining a large amount of desktop machines one by one is time consuming and very expensive. Windows licensing is also expensive and upgrades can be a nightmare (Windows XP to Vista).<\/p>\n

What if there was a solution that would remove the need for maintenance on physical desktop computers and placed them in a virtualized environment? Virtual Desktops<\/a> Infrastructures (VDI) deserve a real look for SMB\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in todays Software virtualizing desktop computers is becoming commonplace for most large companies. Virtual Desktops are housed in a data center on large servers utilizing NAS for backing up. Users connect through a dummy terminal or thin client loaded on to an already existing desktop computer. No expensive desktop is required as the server is doing all of the processing. The local dummy terminal or thin client can even be a linux computer reducing costs.<\/p>\n

The experience is identical to having a physical computer sitting on their desktop. Employees would not even know their \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccomputer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 was located in a data center miles away.<\/p>\n

Virtualization has many benefits, but the most relevant are:<\/p>\n

Security Updates \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Can be pushed out at once to all VDI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s
\nData Security \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Housed in Data Centers and not physical machines in office
\nMaintenance \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Reduced man hours
\nSame Desktop even when traveling
\nCost Savings<\/p>\n

Reduced Power Costs
\nFewer Software Licenses
\nManagement Efficiencies<\/p>\n

Accessible Anywhere
\nVDI can also be accessed from the road, employee home, and from customer location. This provides a uniform platform that saves money on laptops and other expensive \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRemote PC Connection\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 type software that would still be physical. Employees can be more productive by having all of their files and information on an VDI no matter where they are in the World.<\/p>\n

Reduced Deployment Time
\nAnother time consuming issue with maintaining a physical desktop is provisioning of new equipment. A solid Web Hosting<\/a> company will be able to provide some solid systems. VDI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s can be provisioned in minutes eliminating the need to order a customized employee desktop or laptop computer. No need to call Dell and wait a week and pay several thousand dollars. IT will then need to configure the computer for the new employee and secure it. In addition, a backup solution may be required adding even more time to the process. VDI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s can be configured in advance using a template. Based on the job role of the new employee, IT can deploy a VDI in minutes based on this specific function, all configured and ready to go.<\/p>\n

Backups
\nBacking up desktop computers for critical systems can also be easily handled under a VDI solution. Backing up to an NAS can be automated and care free. VDI has another advantage over local backups \u00e2\u20ac\u201c they are offsite in a secure environment. Most data centers now employ fire suppression, APC power, and diesel generators, and on duty security guards. This would cost a normal business hundreds of thousands of dollars to emulate.<\/p>\n

We Suggest
\nIf VDI sounds like something your company should explore, we have performed a bit of research on the matter and suggest researching FindMyHost.com for a solid VDI provider.<\/p>\n
