Desktop Virtualisation allows IT organisations to separate the desktop from specific physical devices or locations and create a Universal Client.

Reduce Costs

• Reduce overall cost of desktop computing by up to 45%, by centralising management, administration and resources
• Remove IT infrastructure from remote offices and datacentres
• Extend lifetime of desktop hardware

Increase Security

• Understand and mitigate risk of data loss by maintaining all data within the corporate firewall
• Enable all corporate desktops to be at highest level of patching and AntiVirus updates

Greater Management and Control

• Manage all desktops centrally in the datacentre instead of distributed remote sites
• Provision desktops instantly to new users, new departments and facilitate office moves
• Manage large numbers of desktops as one entity

Implicit Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

• Any network point can be a work area recovery site
• Guaranteed Business Continuity since the same desktop is accessed from Disaster Recovery scenario as ordinary workplace
• Reduce financial and carbon cost of desktop power by up to 80% (Butler Group, "Infrastructure Virtualization", September 2007) when used in conjunction with Thin Clients which typically use 1/10 the power of a PC
