Virtual Desktop

Desktop Virtualization solutions help companies to reduce their total cost of ownership, increase business agility and continuity, enable anywhere access, and improve security and compliance. For companies new to desktop virtualization, deploying Application Virtualization as a first step can provide immediate cost savings.

Desktop Virtualization offers a broad portfolio of solutions that empower companies to choose the technologies that best address their unique business and IT challenges while preserving their existing IT investments. MTC delivers desktop virtualization offerings for a wide range of situations—from always connected workers to those requiring more flexibility such as mobile workers.

For connected workers, Microsoft and its partners, including Citrix, deliver a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution that allows organizations to centrally manage desktops in the datacenter while providing a personalized desktop experience for end users.

Why Virtualization?

In today’s business environment, customers are challenged to address a wide variety of frequently conflicting questions and concerns in their organizations. Managing these effectively and coming up with workable, creative solutions will ultimately help to make your business more successful. Virtualization can help reduce TCO, increase business agility and continuity, and enable anywhere access for users.

With Desktop Virtualization, we have broken the bonds between the OS, application, and data and user settings. And with virtualization solutions in each of these areas, we provide our customers the ability to provide the best solution for the customer depending on the individual need. Desktop Virtualization delivers the essential capabilities with the platform you already own. When you combine this with the integrated management capabilities we provide, you can leverage your existing infrastructure not only today but into the future.

Desktop virtualization technologies for user-state, applications, and desktops can be used separately or together. Choosing the right solution really depends on your user requirements, your organization’s governance requirements, and importantly the level of control needed over sensitive data. No matter what you are doing, you should start with Application Virtualization.
