Who should attend: IT Infrastructure & Operations professionals

Description:

Client virtualization is top of mind today for many IT Infrastructure & Operations professionals, but businesses are looking to the different forms of client virtualization for the wrong reasons. Most business cases are built based on cost savings but few have seen them. Additionally, many companies think that a desktop or application virtualization deployment will meet the needs of all of users; however, client virtualization is not a one-size-fits-all technology. Organizations must break users into scenarios and find the best technology, or set of technologies, that brings productivity, manageability, security, and eventually, a cost savings to IT.

Agenda:

• The forms of client virtualization
• Fact versus fiction: the benefits of client virtualization
• The problems that client virtualization solves (and what it won't)
• How to get the most effective solution in place for your users
