Desktop Virtualization

Resource maximization is the name of the game in today's highly competitive market. Desktop virtualization, an emerging technology, satisfies this need for business solutions that deliver true business value in a cost-effective manner.

Virtualization refers to the process of creating 'virtual' systems that are patterned after a single unit. The result is a set of machines possessing similar, if not exactly the same processor speed, disk space, among other features. This technology can be used for running applications simultaneously, as well as for hosting multiple servers.

By implementing this business solution, companies the world over are able to experience tremendous financial and operational benefits. For one, there is reduced need for licensing of software, which can bring great inconvenience and expenses for small and large businesses alike. Power costs can also be expected to decrease - a relevant benefit at a time of financial crisis.

Additionally, more things can be accomplished using a tighter but ultimately more productive IT infrastructure. In fact, a virtualization platform is the key element that powers the service of many business hosting providers today, allowing them to offer as high as 100% uptime guarantee. This is because virtualization promises fast and efficient operation of eBusiness servers, promotes easy access to the files and programs in a centralized virtualization environment. Such benefits have led some pundits to declare that virtualization may very well eliminate the need for establishing relatively expensive private networks.

Indeed, desktop virtualization represents resource maximization at its best, by ensuring that every dollar invested on software and hardware is a dollar well spent and that the organization's operation is streamlined in the process. It is a technology worth investing in, for organizations getting ready to face the challenges of the next decades.
