Desktop V with Dell and Citrix

DUBLIN, UK: Maintaining physical desktops typically requires time-consuming desk-side visits, reduces user productivity, delays support response, allows configuration drift, exposes data, reduces mobility, and increases costs. Automation software helps, but really just masks the fundamental problems of traditional physical desktop management.

Research and Markets announced the addition of "Desktop Virtualization with Dell and Citrix: Solving the Desktop Lifecycle Management Challenge" report to their offering.

Server-hosted desktop virtualization - also known as remote desktop or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) - solves many of these problems by separating the user environment from the physical hardware. The virtual desktop is hosted centrally, and delivered to the end user across the network, eliminating many of the problems of maintaining distributed desktop systems.

Dell and Citrix together provide for pragmatic deployment of desktop virtualization, called Dell Virtual Remote Desktop (VRD). Combining Dell's intelligent OptiPlex FX160 flexible computing client, OptiPlex 760 and 906 FLX systems and support services with Citrix's advanced XenDesktop desktop virtualization solutions, Dell VRD provides a desktop replacement.
