- BENEFITS OF VIRTUALISATION
Remote clients allow IT departments to square the circle: improved user satisfaction with lower costs, better security and easier management. In addition, they enable IT departments to be more responsive to business needs and switch resources from low-value break/fix maintenance to high value tasks.
- Centralized support. With a Remote client, fixing hardware problems for end users is simply a matter of swapping thin clients. Desktop support – managing applications, operating systems and so on – can be done centrally along with technical support for end users.
- Easier to support business change. Blade PCs or Remote client servers can be located in a handful of data centres. This makes it easier to respond to business changes such as acquisitions, office moves and personnel changes.
- Tame IT sprawl. By shifting to a centralised, standardized PC model, CIOs can gain more control over their estate. Implementing best practices such as backups, updates and licensing become easier. IDC estimate that each blade PC replaces 1.3 PCs and 0.04 servers along with their associated deployment and support costs.
- Consolidate desktop management with server management. Remote clients give IT departments the opportunity to co-locate servers and blade PCs and use a single team to manage both.
- Redeploy IT resources to higher-value tasks. IT departments spend lots of time dealing with routine, reactive jobs that virtualisation eliminates. Reducing the burden of break/fix support frees up resources for other, more important work.
- Reduce PC support costs. The cost of supporting a PC over time greatly outweighs the initial hardware cost. Virtualisation can cut these routine support costs significantly by eliminating many routine tasks and by enabling best practices.
- Cut technical support calls. A standardized computer environment, with a consistent operating system and application suite, reduces the volume and complexity of support calls – another cost saving.
- Simplifies software installation, maintenance and licensing. Standardising on blade PCs simplifies image creation and testing while centralising PCs in a data centre makes it easier to apply updates, install software and ensuring licensing compliance because they are all in the same place and users aren’t able to install their own software. Updates can be installed overnight in the data centre without visiting a single end user desk.
- Improves data security simplifies backup. Because there are no local hard disks, all user data is stored on reliable, easily backed up network drives. This is especially important for companies where regulations or commercial necessity require high levels of data integrity and control.
- Improves disaster tolerance. In the event of a disaster, users can move to a different location and still access their files, applications and personal desktop. In addition, multiple data centres can provide fail-over capabilities.
- Cut user downtime. In the event of a hardware problem with a blade PC, users are up and running on a new blade (with the same configuration) in less than 60 seconds. Thin client failures are rarer than desktop PC failures because there are no moving parts. In fact, thin clients have a mean time between failures of more than 30 years. IDC calculates that a typical user will save up to 10 hours a year with a Remote client.
- Reduced risk of theft. Thin clients have little value without its back-end infrastructure and it contains no valuable data.
- Cut power costs and air-conditioning requirements. A blade PC and thin client, combined, use less than half the power of a typical desktop computer. This means lower electricity bills, less damage to the environment and a reduced requirement for air conditioning.
