Considerations of Desktop Virtualization
An "In the Cloud" deployment strategy
GoIWx has been providing this service for years, our customers realize the benefits.
Useability is paramount. Users will accept virtual Desktops only if they outperform their current PCs. Typically they apply their own performance criteria like these:
• ”Instant On”—virtual desktops should boot much faster than a disk-resident OS, and respond as quickly as network bandwidth and latency will allow
• Mobility—desktops should be available from any location through compact, lightweight devices, so employees can travel light and be productive anywhere
• Functionality—employees expect the full up-to-date corporate desktop plus their own “personal” applications and customizations
• Peripherals—desktops must support USB devices, networking, printing, scanning and other functions that users value
• Support—virtualization should include applications to monitor
GoIWx has deep and wide experience with implementing these solutions. If your organization is ready to take the next step,

Obviously, boot image control is much simpler when only thin clients are used – typically a single boot image can accommodate a very wide range of user needs, and be managed centrally, resulting in:
• Lower IT administration costs.
• Easier to secure.
• Enhanced data security.
• Lower hardware costs.
• Less energy consumption.
• Easier hardware failure management.
• Worth less to most thieves.
• Operable in Hostile Environments.
• Less network bandwidth.
• More efficient use of computing resources.
• Simple hardware upgrade path.
• Lower noise.
• Less wasted hardware.
