Value points and scenarios for VMware Desktop virtualization

For any enterprise, the use of a new technology to replace the traditional method, its essence is to improve the original productivity, help enterprises to create higher value, desktop virtualization is the same. Compared to the traditional way of physical machine office, desktop virtualization has the following advantages (value points):

1. Data Security (security)

Physical machine All the data are stored on the local host, and desktop virtualization based on its own architecture, the user all operations in the back-end data center, this pattern naturally formed the data "not landing" advantage. IT managers and ops people don't have to worry about data theft or breaches in the mobile or Internet environment.

2. Simplified Management (Operations)

The Desktop virtualization platform provides centralized management of desktops, data, and applications for all employees. IT administrators can also use a visual monitoring platform, real-time understanding of the overall health, timely detection and processing of daily sudden problems, improve the user experience.

3. Mobile Office (Agility)

Mobile and BYOD have become a trend through desktop virtualization that enables employees to operate flexibly at any time, anywhere, on any device, improving the agility and timeliness of business processing, and keeping businesses competitive in a fast-changing market environment.

4. lower overall cost (cost)

On the one hand, choosing a virtual desktop solution enables IT administrators to automate and centralize management of the desktop environment, provisioning desktops and setting policies through the Web console. With the help of operating system template cloning technology, IT administrators can quickly create new desktops and push them to use, significantly reducing daily maintenance expenses.

On the other hand, the data center undertakes all the application and the load of the system which the user needs, and the user front-end equipment only undertakes some basic user input and output low load operation, therefore, in the case that the performance cannot satisfy the user demand, only need to upgrade the data center side resources, effectively guaranteed the user front-end equipment capital investment. In addition, the level of operational management and security improvements can reduce the desktop-side human input at the operating level. At the same time, the cost of PC power consumption can be greatly reduced by replacing PC devices with thin clients.

5. Desktop Reliability (stability)

A desktop virtualization environment built on a data center server virtualization Platform (VMware VSphere), with high availability (HA), dynamic resource scheduling (DRS), and server virtualization availability features such as FT, Enables virtualized business applications and desktops to be used without interruption in production environments where availability is demanding, improving business continuity and data integrity.

6. Improve Office efficiency (efficiency)

Desktop virtualization completely subvert the traditional mode of operation, the traditional physical computer can only be in a fixed location for office, and desktop virtualization allows employees in mobile phones, PAD, notebook and other mobile terminals to work, anytime, anywhere processing business, greatly improve the efficiency of the office.

Some common scenarios are listed below:

1. Development Environment

For some types of design and development companies, the company wants to protect the internal core code or drawings through desktop virtualization, to prevent the leakage of data to the company's unpredictable losses in the morning. VMware's desktop virtualization now supports not only software like Java, CAD, but also GPU-based graphics workstations.

2. branch offices

For many enterprises, they have their own branches and business offices, distributed in different cities, such as financial institutions of the business site or mobile company. In the absence of virtualization, the centralized management of the desktop will have a greater degree of difficulty. For example, when the desktop problems, we have to go from Headquarters to the branch to deal with, waste of manpower and resources and financial resources. With desktop virtualization, the central deployment of the desktop can be achieved, and when the application needs to be updated and deployed, it can be done in the shortest time possible, with minimal labor.

3. Desk Surface

Replace the traditional office PC with desktop virtualization, and move all the operations that were previously required on the PC to a virtualized server in the datacenter. In this way, the administrator can centrally manage operations, and the data will not be scattered on the user's PC side. End users can remotely connect to a virtual desktop environment in an enterprise data center through devices such as PCs or thin clients.

4. Mobile Office

Similar to a desk, a user can connect to a data center for remote work, including through a network. The client can connect remotely using a mobile phone, tablet device, browser, and so on. Users can work from any location, any network, or any device. There are already more enterprises in the domestic use of desktop virtualization in the way of mobile office. Business management staff in the field of travel can also use mobile phones, tablet equipment for process processing and document approval.

5.CTI Call Center

Customer service Centers in many industries need to provide 7x24 hours of uninterrupted user service, so call center agents often use alternate shifts to work. By virtualizing the application or desktop of the call center agent through desktop virtualization, it can guarantee the usability of the agent's working environment and protect the information of sensitive users. In China, there are more and more banks, telecommunications companies call centers have applied desktop virtualization technology to replace the traditional PC mode. For large-scale call centers, there is no need for a large IT support team to maintain the PC.

6. Training Center

In the school's electronic classroom, the enterprise's training center has a large number of computer equipment, in the absence of desktop virtualization, PC equipment needs a lot of power consumption. At the same time, because teaching requirements often require administrators to quickly update, deploy operating systems, applications, and the use of manual management methods have not met the requirements of flexible teaching. By adopting desktop virtualization and thin client technology, you can reduce the overall cost of electricity while freeing IT staff from complex and repetitive device operations and applying energy to other more valuable tasks.

7. Outsourcing Scenarios

The human and business process outsourcing model has been used extensively in domestic finance and it enterprises. How to ensure that the outsourcing personnel of their own equipment in line with the enterprise's IT compliance policy, but also to eliminate the outsourcing staff to take away the core data of the enterprise has become a lot of high-level concerns. Desktop virtualization is a way to meet the work needs of outsourced workers while meeting the security and compliance requirements of enterprise it.
