In this expert videocast featuring Brian Madden, an industry analyst and well-known IT blogger, learn about the future trends of virtualization for desktops. Discover technical capabilities that will be seen in 2010 and which current technologies have staying power. 

Desktop virtualization is a suite of technologies that remove the physical desktop, operating system and computing device physically sitting on the desktop, and aggregates those resources in the data center. Read this whitepaper to learn the benefits and immediate cost savings of these technologies to your organization's data center. 

Desktop virtualization—the replacement of physical desktops with virtualized versions hosted and delivered from the datacenter—not only allows you to equip your users more efficiently and cost-effectively; it enables a broad range of strategies for reducing cost, improving service and providing more agile support to the organization. 

Real-time NetFlow Analyzer displays inbound and outbound traffic separately for granular analysis that makes problem diagnosis quick and easy. Even better, you can view the historical NetFlow data broken out by application, conversation, domain, endpoint, and protocol. That way you know exactly how your bandwidth is being used and by whom. 

In this webcast, Greg Schulz, Founder and Senior Analyst at The StorageIO Group, and Randy Glissman, Solutions Marketing Manager at Quantum, explore solutions for virtual server data protection and discuss general data center trends and perspectives. 

Managing desktop environments across the enterprise can be challenging for many organizations.

This white paper discusses the use of Sun Fire X4450 servers as a virtual desktop infrastructure platform. 

This IDC white paper considers the concept of desktop virtualization, specifically as made available by VMware’s VDI and ACE. The document also considers the benefits and limitations of these technologies as well as the best use cases for each, exemplified through user case studies. 

Virtual desktops can help reign in IT costs and greatly simplify management. Watch now to explore virtualization benefits, trends and architectures. Learn about the role of virtualized iSCSI SANs (storage area networks) to enhance scalability and why you should consider desktop virtualization now. 

Quebec organizations, compared to others in Canada, display much higher satisfaction with their IT effectiveness. They continually place a high priority on IT process improvement and the establishment of procedures for management and oversight of IT operations. 

Performance Computing (HPC) is business ready. HPC can give your organization a competitive advantage through shorter development cycles, better decision making and lower costs. Download this webcast to discuss new technologies, accomplishments, and collaborations in HPC, networking, storage, software, and data management. 

With server virtualization, you do more with less. Instead of filling your data center with underutilized boxes, you run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical machine. You make the most of your space while taking full advantage of your hardware investment. Read this whitepaper to learn more about these benefits.
