Business case
Customers require a scalable, tiered, and highly available infrastructure on which to deploy
their virtual desktop environment. There are several new technologies available to assist
them in architecting a virtual desktop solution, but they need to know how to best use these
technologies to maximize their investment, support service-level agreements, and reduce
their desktop total cost of ownership (TCO).
The purpose of this solution is to build a replica of a common customer virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI) environment and validate the environment for performance, scalability,
and functionality. Customers will realize:
Increased control and security of their global, mobile desktop environment, typically
their most at-risk environment
Better end-user productivity with a more consistent environment
Simplified management with the environment contained in the data center
Better support of service level agreements and compliance initiatives
