Client VirtualizationTake back control of your IT environment today with Flexible Computing Solutions.
Years of rapid growth, business acquisitions and globalization have left IT with a jumble of systems, software and data to manage. With Dell’s Flexible Computing Solutions—which includes client virtualization—Dell can help you gain control of your IT environment so you can drive maximum efficiency throughout your enterprise.
Client Virtualization changes the client-management paradigm. Instead of managing desktops and devices, you manage digital identities — the data, preferences, applications, operating systems and IT policies uniquely associated with each user. The benefits of client virtualization are plentiful and include:
Improved manageability across your client workforceIncreased employee productivityReduced security risksAbility to ensure business continuity in the event of a disasterDell's service-backed, virtual client architectures capitalize on advanced networking and virtualization technologies and ensure you can take advantage of all the benefits client virtualization offers. Deploying new resources can be time consuming but Dell’s Flexible Computing Solutions are centered around efficiency. The digital workforce identities reside in a central location on your network. Deployment is a breeze because the master copy of all the data is centralized rather than on individual computing devices scattered across the enterprise. Implementation is simplified with standards-based reference architectures and industry-leading performance and functionality.
