Dynamic desktop environments
Rigid infrastructure-based computing cannot support the needs of a dynamic and agile enterprise. It will prevent rapid adoption of technology, eroding productivity and competitive margin.
The demand for a more dynamic computing environment is growing by the day. Organizations want to adopt new ways of computing that enable their workforce to be more productive and at one with technology that provides competitive advantage.
Thanks to desktop and application virtualization, IT teams have more options than ever to reduce operational costs and improve information security. Meanwhile, users are demanding more and more flexibility, particularly the ability to be productive anywhere and utilize the latest smartphone and tablet devices.
There are many compelling technologies that enable a dynamic desktop environment, but there is only one technology that brings it all together for both the user and IT: the AppSense User Virtualization Platform.
Desktops must be dynamically configured based on:
- The user
- Location
- Device
- Time and day
To provide:
- Compliant desktops in accordance to governance and legislation
- Configured desktops with correct drivers, printers etc
- The right applications for the right users
With the AppSense User Virtualization Platform, IT architects can implement a desktop management and control framework that transcends all device types and desktop delivery approaches. By shifting management focus to the user, IT can provide a consistent and well-controlled experience even as users roam across an evolving desktop and application fabric using a heterogeneous collection of computing devices.
The dynamic desktop environment of the future will not appear overnight. It will be a steadily evolving collection of technologies that will, for the foreseeable future, include:
- A mix of physical PCs and virtual desktops
- Locally installed, virtualized, and server-hosted applications
- Emerging devices such as tablets and smartphones
- Cloud applications and whatever else the future holds
