Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) promises ‘IT utopia’ by eliminating one of the biggest operational costs in the enterprise, supporting end-user desktops. But to reach this nirvana two major requirements need to be met. First, the cost per virtual desktop has to be attractive compared to the price of the physical desktops they’re replacing, both infrastructure costs and operational costs. Second, and potentially more challenging, is that users have to accept the thought of losing their own personal desktop, putting the pressure on IT to deliver a better experience.
Watch as experts from Storage Switzerland, IBM and Atlantis Computing explain how to overcome the four most common obstacles to VDI acceptance so that users can love their virtual desktops while you dramatically reduce the cost. You will walk away with a strategy to deliver a MacBook Air type of performance at a Chromebook price.
Overcome These Four Challenges
- Running persistent desktops to increase user acceptance
- Increasing desktop density to lower project cost
- Finding an alternative to quick fixes like server-side flash
- Finding a way to make all-flash solutions cost-effective
All viewers of the webinar will receive an exclusive copy of Storage Switzerland’s white paper “The Three Ps to a Successful VDI Deployment – Persistence, Price, Performance“.
In addition, all registrants will be able to access Storage Switzerland’s extensive library of on-demand webinars, many with exclusive white papers, without having to re-register.
