User Experience - Critical Component to a Successful Desktop Virtualization Project
Desktop virtualization deployments are set for massive growth in 2009 as enterprises look to reduce costs, improve ROI, improve mobility and agility, tighten up security, and manage a much more flexible workforce. Many of the best-intentioned desktop virtualization projects get unfocused because end-users complain their “new” desktop “isn’t the same”. Slow graphics, multimedia, and browser rendering, bi-directional audio, universal USB device support, universal printing, and profile management are but a few of the issues that can cause rejection. Not considering these “last-mile” components in your desktop virtualization project can cause serious and costly project-revolt within your user population. Come hear Andi Mann, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), discuss how organizations can achieve greater desktop virtualization success by overcoming poor user experience, and ensuring their virtual desktops behave as well as - or even better than - local desktops.
