Top Three Reasons to Move to Citrix XenDesktop
Posted on September 8th, 2010 by rbrumpton |
Adoption of Citrix XenDesktop 4 has been robust. Many companies are interested in implementing a centralized solution for desktop management, particularly since the control it brings solves a number of IT support challenges, from software deployment to malware prevention. Operational efficiency gains are salient post-implementation, and the TCO and ROI cases are clear. Aside from these high-level benefits, though, there are a number of granular reasons to move to Citrix XenDesktop. Here are the top three:
1. Windows 7: Traditional upgrades to the newest and fastest-selling Microsoft operating system in history tend to be costly and painful. Via desktop virtualization – and particularly with XenDesktop – it becomes significantly easier. Since Windows 7 migrations are coming for many companies, virtual desktop infrastructures are also being considered, to make the process easier.
2. Availability and management: The Citrix virtual desktop solution improves desktop availability through increased control and automated policy enforcement. Centralization streamlines management and support. All of this translates to lower operating and support costs for your desktop environment.
3. Device flexibility and self-service: Since XenDesktop can push an image to any device at any time, mobile end users can gain the benefits of your in-house IT infrastructure wherever they are. Even newer devices, such as the iPad, are supported. Also, your business users can take advantage of application self-service via Citrix Dazzle.
