Virtual Desktop Imaging

Save money on hardware and labor at your business by switching to VDI. VDI or Virtual Desktop Imaging allows you to save money by buying thin clients (dumb terminal) for just a few hundred bucks rather than a desktop that could cost over a thousand.  These thin clients have a life span of 10+ years where the desktops are out dated after only two.  Within the first year of purchasing thin clients over leased desktops you will already start to see the savings on just the hardware alone.  With VDI, when a user logs in their profile, desktop, and files are pulled down from a sever that runs in your facility.  They can log in anywhere and have their files available.  VDI will allow schools and businesses to save on labor because virtually all issues on a thin client can be resolved by rebooting it, which reloads the image.  If a thin client gets a virus, reboot, and it is gone.  You never need to upgrade a thin client either like you would with desktops or laptops.  All you have to do is upgrade the server if you need a little more power.

What will VDI do for our business?

  • Reduce Deployment Time by up to 50 percent
  • Reduce Helpdesk Costs
  • Standardize Operating System (Quick Windows XP to Windows 7 Migrations)
  • Reduce Risk with Native Malware Resistance
  • Saves migration time by easily integrating in with Active Directory, Novell E-directory, and other Directory Services for AAA
  • Reduced Time, Manpower, and cost of Managing Desktops
  • Improved System Control and Security
The VDI bundle that we sell and manage is being used by Universities, School Districts, Small to Large Business, and Corporate Enterprises.  One university in particular had over 25,000 students across multiple campuses.  To make things more complicated this university ran a mix of Windows XP, Windows 7, and Ubuntu Linux, which made it very costly to manage.  The university decided to deploy VDI with built in virtualized infrastructure.  Unlike most of our competitors, which only support Windows, this VDI solution supported both their Windows machines and Linux machines without any problem.  This VDI deployment allowed the university to improve efficiency, save on labor costs, and centralize the management of all desktops.
