Desktop Virtualization

Expand Post »
Hi,

Flexibility and manageability are drawing more enterprise users to look at the technology of Desktop Virtualization. Their goal is to create a more dynamic and efficient hardware environment. At the same time, a growing number of software vendors are rolling out desktop-virtualization offerings.

In such a scenario, suggest a simple and instant installation available that can be used to manage entire lifecycle of virtual desktops making it easy to create, deliver, secure, update, and control the virtual desktop.

Any help, would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,
T. Matthew

Re: Desktop Virtualization

Well, Matthew, the availability of such vendors today is pretty good. You must approach for a solution that combines the benefits of centralized management with the computing power and flexibility of the PC.

Re: Desktop Virtualization

I have heard about the technology called “Predictive Fetching” that helps virtual computers start faster and update quickly. This technology is even cost effective and tune faster with existing configurations. Which means you’ll be able to decrease user downtime and increase user satisfaction.

Re: Desktop Virtualization

As I mentioned earlier also, there are many Virtual Desktop Solutions that eliminates the time-consuming and security-threatening hassles of IT management, thereby increasing user productivity and flexibility.

While browsing for some similar issues, I came across one Virtualization Company that has got the capability of managing multiple desktops and provide remote access solutions also. You may visit the website at:

Re: Desktop Virtualization

Thanks a lot everybody. The suggestions seems beneficial. I have seen the demos available at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...c/default.mspx

And

But the later one meets out the need at our organization to a closer extent. I have downloaded the trial version. Let’s see, if it solves the issues we are facing, we need to look forward for that.

Re: Desktop Virtualization

I had also gone through the links mentioned in the thread above. I am happy whether it’s going to solve my issues or not, at least somebody is helped with this.

Well, as far as installation is concerned, mokafive is really proving good. I have seen their success stories, where from we can evaluate their products.

Re: Desktop Virtualization

MokaFive is proving itself. Their unique format for creating virtual machines is called LivePC which updates dynamically, works from anywhere, and starts up in an instant. MokaFive centrally manages the entire lifecycle of users' virtual desktops making it easy to create, deliver, secure, update, and control the virtual desktop.

With MokaFive, you can test new applications without fear of damaging your system. In fact you could plan to expand to new areas as well.
