Resources & Evidence

Figure 1
Move from many distributed physical clients to a single server centrally hosting hundreds of virtual clients.

End users need ready access to the applications they need to do their jobs effectively. However, to give their workers the tools they need, many organizations face increased costs and decreased security.

Key Areas of Concern

The cost of constantly upgrading and replacing PCs and laptops
The cost of PCs for task-specific workers, who only require a few, key applications
The high cost of managing and backing up distributed PCs
Increasing regulatory compliance and the need to ensure customers data is secure

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a complex term for the simple concept of consolidating end-user desktops on a centralized server. VDI uses virtualization technology to create user desktops. The benefits to the VDI approach include lowering cost, simplifying patch management and provisioning new applications to users in seconds.

A virtual desktop infrastructure solution from Parallels may be the right choice for your client computing needs. Other VDI solutions are architecturally incapable of providing the required density to keep costs in line and provide the required flexibility to serve every user in the organization.

Development Outsourcing Developers in remote offices around the globe, working from home or in clients offices.		Global Disaster Planning Back up offices in case of disaster with full capability to run the business via remote connections.
Task Workers Task workers (e.g. call center) only require basic applications. Current solutions over deliver at much higher costs.		Extending PC Life Convert old PCs into remote access terminals running the latest business applications.

Parallels Virtual Desktop Infrastructure combines the world’s leading desktop virtualization infrastructure (Parallels Virtuozzo Containers) with the best VDI management tools (Quest Provision Networks). This solution delivers:

Most Desktops per server – 3X more than VMware or Citrix
Lowest cost storage – only one copy of OS and applications per server
Global updates and patch management
Dynamically modify desktops resources and capabilities in seconds
Fast provisioning of desktop and applications

The diagram below describes the components of the Parallels Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
