A virtual desktop platform facilitates deployment of complete workspaces in the cloud, delivering business & productivity applications alongside a complete back-office system to users anywhere, anytime, on any device. Virtual desktops empower organizations to support mobile and embrace BYOD, interconnect distributed workforces and increase responsiveness and service quality without compromise to security, performance or control. This interactive c-level panel discussion will highlight the advantages and challenges of virtual desktops.
The IndependenceIT Cloud Workspace® Suite (CWS) is a software platform that enables cloud workspaces and allows IT departments, ISVs and service providers to rapidly deploy desktops, applications and entire corporate IT systems as cloud services. The software platform empowers users to work from anywhere, at any time, on any device and includes support for more than 700 business applications. The Cloud Workspace Suite API permits integration with existing systems management and provisioning tools for simple orchestration that includes comprehensive security and audit tools for compliance readiness.
According to Janakiram MSV, Principal Analyst for Janakiram & Associates and a participant on the panel, “Virtual desktops are becoming increasingly popular as organizations and users seek greater access to business applications and data regardless of their physical location. As many businesses have discovered, the ROI of virtual desktops compared to traditional computing infrastructure is compelling. This panel will debate the options available in deploying these systems and the advantages they bring to the IT user.”
“Major changes in the market, including the surge in the BYOD movement, the sunsetting of Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server and Tier One cloud platforms becoming available for desktop-as-a-service delivery have created a perfect storm of user interest and adoption for cloud workspaces,” said Seth Bostock, CEO, IndependenceIT. “We join the Gigaom panel to further education in this space and highlight the drivers of cloud workspace solutions as they gain favor among service providers and IT professionals globally.”
