Infrastructure: Save Power. Save Money
At the desk of the future, a small, thin, low powered, efficient box replaces the power hungry mega processor of the past. Utilizing the strength of virtualization, one small box provides the user an unlimited amount of virtual sessions to work from, powering up to 4 - 24” flat panels which, provides almost the same desktop real estate at 8 - 19” panels. If your user has two computers drawing 400 Watts each, driving two screens each, the total desk draw is just less than 760 Watts. Using a virtual infrastructure, the desktop would draw less than 250 Watts or 68% less power at the desk. Reducing power costs SAVES MONEY. Click here for a real world power study.
Support: Replace, Don’t Repair
Support efficiency takes a dramatic leap when moving to a virtualized environment. A Thin Client OS is sub 500 MB. If there is a problem with the OS then replace it; don’t troubleshoot it. If the virtual session is having software problems then replace it; don’t troubleshoot it. If the Thin box under the desk fails then replace it, and troubleshoot it later. Man hours are the most expensive part of any support organization. Reducing support costs SAVES TIME and MONEY.
All DR - All the Time
As all user sessions can run constantly and duplicate in a virtual world, a user can log on securely from any client and access their remote session. By moving to a virtual-centric environment costs are reduced when building a DR site as redundancy is built-in.
Redundancy
Products such as Double Take ™ facilitate redundancy by allowing both a primary and secondary session to run contiguously. When a user’s session at one physical location fails, the user automatically connects to the same session running in the failover location which can be located anywhere in the world. Man hours are the most expensive part of any support organization. Reducing support costs SAVES TIME and MONEY.
Free Seating: The Dream become Reality
Within the multiple computer - multiple monitor environment moves can be tremendously expensive. In a typical 2 computer/4 panel desktop, moving hardware from one desk to another can take hours, and in Union environments can involve up to 4 people. A virtual infrastructure allows the user to sit at any desk and access ALL of their computing resources thus, eliminating the need for manual moves of a user’s hardware. Reducing move costs SAVES TIME and MONEY.
