The very same virtualization infrastructure you use for your servers today can be naturally extended to support the hosting of desktops as well. As a result, users gain the flexibility of connecting to a well-managed desktop from virtually any network endpoint. But how do you get there? 

In this webcast, discover how application and desktop virtualization together with blade servers and SAN technology provide the most cost-effective virtual desktop tools for everyone in your organization. Gain insight into how to leverage this approach to simplify your IT systems while improving the productivity of your users. 

When IT professionals make massive investments in the virtualized data center, financial controls to contain sprawl and maintain control are essential. This white paper shows you how to do so by implementing chargeback. 

In this mediacast, learn how to utilize virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) technology to enhance desktop flexibility and IT agility. Discover how to deploy and manage your desktop infrastructure effectively. Learn how VDI technology enables you to consolidate virtual desktops while managing your entire desktop not just applications. 

In this webcast, learn how virtual desktop implementation can ensure data security and uphold legal compliance standards. Discover how to execute best practices for data backup and offsite storage. Gain insight into how desktop virtualization can be utilized to improve data security and availability. 

This white paper presents an example configuration and best practices for deploying and configuring a highly available architecture using an example solution configuration and then discussing how the configuration helps in maximizing uptime. 

This white paper examines the evolution of private clouds and discusses how many organizations that have implemented grid or virtual machines are moving towards private clouds. It also describes how organizations can successfully implement this new IT delivery model using a phased approach that starts with cloud management software. 

This E-guide addresses configuration and change management in a partially virtual environment. Topics include: reporting on and managing virtual servers, the effects of physical changes on servers, how to extend change management processes like ITIL to cover the SAN, and handling human problems between the networking, datacenter, and storage teams. 

More and more organizations are implementing server virtualization to enhance efficiency and resource utilization within their data centers. However, provisioning and managing storage within the virtual environment can be complicated and time consuming.
