West Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/30/2016 -- IT departments spend a lot of time maintaining computers within the company, from installing new software updates, configuring new desktops to upgrading hardware. Without effective computer management, though, the total cost of ownership for a computer can be upwards of $5,000 annually, according to Gartner.
To reduce IT costs while ensuring ongoing computer management, many companies are exploring virtual desktop technology that is stored in a virtualized environment rather than onsite. According to Razor Technology, an organization can host desktops inside virtual machines running on centralized servers in a data center using technologies such as VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. Users can, then, access virtual desktops remotely from a traditional PC, thin-client, or re-purposed computer using a remote display protocol.
With a virtual desktop infrastructure, companies can manage and control desktops from a centralized location, simplifying new installations, backups, virus scans, and maintenance. In addition to eliminating the need to update applications, a virtual desktop infrastructure reduces compatibility issues. Access to sensitive data can be better controlled with intellectual property maintained in a secure data center.
Supporting the trend for Bring Your Own Device to work, desktop virtualization gives employees access to the computer functionality that looks and feels like traditional desktop technology from devices such as a market smartphone, iPad, android tablet or their personal laptop.
Razor Technology is a leading virtualization technology provider that enables companies to mix current technology investments with a virtual environment to strengthening IT operations while improving performance and bottom line costs.
