The trouble with todays desktops
On the one hand, theres the need to keep the existing desktop
environment efcient, secure and running.
This can feel like an overwhelming task.
Operating Systems and applications can be difcult to deploy,
manage, upgrade and patch.
There are simple version updates and then a ull-blown platorm
migration comes along, or example to Windows 7.
Security and compliance requirements change oten and take
resources away rom more innovative projects. Meanwhile,
IT budgets and headcounts continue to all.
Desktops play such a critical role in todays workplace, yet
every day they seem to become more complicated and costly
to manage.
On the other hand, there are workorce demands to use new
devices and applications, to increase productivity.
Your end-users are bringing in their own devices smartphones
and tablets that they expect to use in the working environment.
Increasingly, theyre using cloud-based, SaaS applications to
share files and work aster.
They want to access their desktop across dierent devices, in
dierent locations so that they can work on the move or at
home.
Its all proven to increase productivity or the business, making it
more agile and competitive.
Wouldnt it be great to enable such a modern working
environment?
1. The Desktop Dilemma

Addressing IT and End-User Requirements
Desktop modernization provides a much more efcient IT
environment that lets you eectively manage, secure and deploy
desktops today while setting you up to better control your
environment as it evolves into the uture.
Virtualization is the key.
By separating the OS, applications and user data rom the
desktop hardware and moving them to the data center, the
IT department can eectively deliver and manage them as
individual components.
As a result, its much easier to deploy, upgrade and manage
desktops.
So your end-user can access to the same desktop, rom various
devices or locations. They could be on a thin client, laptop,
desktop or smartphone. They could be at work, home or on
the road.

Benefits or IT
Desktop modernization will give you:
Reduced costs
Virtualization simplifies and centralizes desktop management.
So resources can be shited rom maintenance tasks to more
innovative projects. Plus, there are significant reductions in
management and operation expenses to be made over time.
More control, easier complianceEnhanced role-based admin and centralized desktop security
policies give you more control, right across your user
inrastructure.
You can easily meet sotware compliance guidelines and ensure
all desktops and applications are up to date rom one screen.
Additionally, you can maintain regulatory compliance by keepinginormation under control in your datacenter.
Higher availability
The flexibility o virtualization allows you to deal with back-ups,
server admin and ailures without interrupting desktop and
application availability. Freeing the desktop rom desktop
hardware also gives users a highly available environment that
keeps running even ater they spill coee on their thin client.
An easier path to Windows 7
Get the benefits o upgrading to Windows 7 without endless
testing and legacy application issues, separate and encapsulate
the components to deliver as a service rom the datacenter. Thisaccelerates your adoption time while cutting your costs in hal.
Board-level approval and end-user satisaction
A leap in end-user productivity, lower costs and greater business
agility makes desktop modernization popular across the whole
organization.

Benefits to Business
There are sound business reasons to take desktop modernization
to the board:
Greater agility
For example, the ability to easily deploy new end-user desktops
and manage them centrally means you can react quickly to
market changes, scaling resources up or down on the fly to meet
changing business needs.
More competitive edge
A modern desktop environment allows you to adopt new
applications and services quickly, so you can gain competitive
edge ast.
A happier, more productive workorce
End-users benefit rom a desktop thats more reliable and
available in more places, giving them more time and flexibility
to work.
Benefits or the End-User
Desktop Modernization gives end-users more reliable and secure
desktops, but its the greater working flexibility that theyll really
notice:
More productivity
Anytime anywhere access allows end-users to be more
productive, a modern desktop architecture means less downtime
rom conflicts, and improved support means that any issues are
resolved aster.
Greater reedom
The ability to use a variety o dierent devices to access
corporate assets means users can even leverage personal devices.
Less rustration
Better desktop and application availability means end-users
can spend more time on their core role and less on the phone
to IT support.
The benefits are clear, but how do you make them
a reality?
Heres how to implement desktop modernization
