Uniting Wipro’s deep systems integration & managed services knowledge with HPE and Nutanix HCI to deliver improved business agility, productivity and superior end user experiences.
More and more enterprises are moving to virtualized desktops due to the immense value of the capability to rapidly, securely provision apps, workspaces, and data to a mobile, distributed, global workforce. Better access to enterprise technology services means more collaboration, higher productivity, and less wasted time.
Desktop virtualization has the potential to transform the way employees can collaborate and deliver by bringing diverse teams across the globe together to work on critical projects without limitation of distance. Instant service delivery to dispersed desktops and mobile devices enables more flexibility to meet challenges and opportunities that emerge at the speed of business. Unprecedented scalability helps avoid costly investments in excess capacity while providing a more agile environment for developers and end users to collaborate. More flexible resourcing makes it easier than ever before for professionals to use technology to solve ground-level problems. And features like roles-based access and a secure, central data center help manage risk across the organization.
But without the right tools, these benefits arrive alongside a serious technology management challenge. Virtualizing enterprise-scale computing infrastructure is a complex technical feat. Delayed deployment cycles and performance problems stemming from a poorly managed implementation risk negating the very benefits that VDI seeks to provide.
VirtuaDesk
