Role of New Devices in the Future
In a day and age where new devices are being introduced into the market every day, IT enterprises are struggling to centralize desktops and also increase the productivity of the enterprise at the same time. Additionally these enterprises need to ensure reduction in costs and enhanced control over information assets coupled with compliance of all security regulations and standardization of data sharing practices across the enterprise. In short, it is a difficult landscape to survive! This is where desktop virtualization comes into the picture. Desktop virtualization is growing at a great speed, and, according to Gartner research, its market will extend to close to 50 million users by 2013 and will generate $65.7 billion. Seen as the device of the future, Desktop virtualization is growing at an unprecedented pace. In this short article we intend to explore the future that heralds for Desktop Virtualization.
Desktop Virtualization and the Future
- Most organizations consider desktop virtualization to be all about making it personal and essentially being application-focused, while we see that desktop virtualization solutions will soon become a medium for enhanced publication of applications.
- The virtualization desktops will soon allow applications to run Guest Operating Systems (GOS) like Windows, Chrome Android or Linux without any hitch.
- Bandwidth problems associated with hosting desktops off premise and in the cloud will soon be sorted out. Combined with enhanced security mechanisms, the virtualization solution of the future will offer complete security.
- Thin desktops will easily sync up with all end-point devices ensuring hindrance-free downloading of virtual applications. New mobile and thin devices with low resources will be dealt with easily.
- Virtualization solutions that offer enterprises complete control over their applications will be preferred in the coming times. Enterprises prefer solutions that allow applications to be freely loaded onto the virtual desktop without any hitches. IT enterprises will enjoy faster and interruption-free applications delivery, thus application virtualization will be enhanced.
- Desktop virtualization solutions will ably meet TCO requirements and will visibly reduce desktop management with almost negligible business process changes.
- The future asks for a single application led solution that can deliver total desktop virtualization which is easy to deploy and offers seamless and swift integration.
The future beholds a scenario where Desktop Virtualization will offer a truly flexible computing experience to all its end users with totally enhanced user mobility that will allow the user to respond to business needs dynamically and swiftly. However the future can be rosy only if the present virtualization management can be made more efficient. Building strong management practices for virtualization without any inconsistencies is equally important.
