Do You Need a Change?Is your organization experiencing escalating operational costs when it comes to
managing your end users? Do you feel you are spending too much time on
device, image, and application maintenance with little time left to focus on
strategic IT projects? Are you struggling to support remote and mobile access
without compromising security and compliance mandates?
Challenges like these can point to the need to change how you manage, provision,
and support applications and online services across all of your end users and
devices—because the approaches that worked in the past are no longer meeting
the needs of your organization.
Today, many enterprises are turning to a new and better way to provision, deliver,
and manage their corporate applications and online services. This new way
forward is desktop and application virtualization, an approach that transforms
static desktops and applications into dynamic workspaces that provide end users
with secure access to all of their applications and online resources across devices
and locations.
Consider the benefits of this approach:
• For end users, desktop and application virtualization provides an easy and
seamless way to access business resources, regardless of device type, from
virtually any location.
• For lines of business, desktop and application virtualization delivers a secure
and powerful platform on which to build better and more efficient processes.
• For IT organizations, desktop and application virtualization enables
administrators to give users the freedom and flexibility they seek while
preserving the reliability and security aspects required for business-critical
applications and the protection of sensitive corporate data.
This brief is meant to help your organization determine whether the time is right
to capitalize on the opportunities and benefits of desktop and application
virtualization. To make this determination, it helps to understand the signs that
indicate your organization could benefit from a new approach to desktop and
application management. These signs range from escalating costs and concerns
about security breaches to device expansion and shifting business conditions.

TREND BRIEF
Let’s explore whether or not the time is right for your
organization to embrace desktop and application
virtualization. Here are seven key telltale signs that will let
you know:
1. Escalating costs
2. Inefficient IT processes
3. Inefficient business processes
4. Concerns about security breaches
5. Anytime, anywhere workers
6. Device expansion
7. Shifting business conditions
1Escalating Costs
Signs
• You have expensive hardware replacement costs and
increasing capital expenses associated with storage
due to forklift upgrades.
• You are not optimizing the use of computing resources
and would like to reduce resource usage and increase
performance.
• Your IT operations costs associated with the desktop
environment are on the rise.
How desktop and application virtualization can help
Desktop and application virtualization can help you cut
both capital and operational expenditures. A few
examples:
• Cut CapEx by repurposing and extending the life cycle
of your existing fleet of PCs.
• Reduce replacement costs through the use of less
expensive thin or zero clients.
• Consolidate office space and optimize your
application license costs.
• Drive down OpEx by reducing help desk tickets and
accelerating desktop and application updates,
patches, and deployments.
Consider stateless or non-persistent desktop
deployments to scale desktop and application
virtualization in a cost-effective manner. With the right
technologies, you can rapidly spin up desktops for users
that retain user customization and personas from
session to session, even though the desktop itself is
destroyed when the user logs out. This stateless
desktop approach allows you to pool infrastructure
across all of your end users and drive down your costs.
The Seven Signs CASE STUDY
College Cuts Costs with
VMware Horizon
In the United Kingdom, a VMware
Horizon® desktop and application
virtualization solution helped
Hartlepool College reduce its PC
refresh budget from £100,000
per year to around £20,000 per
year for server hardware and
less than £25,000 for thin client
devices. On the operational side,
the desktop and application
virtualization solution helped the
college save more than £18,000
a year in power expenses and cut
its annual PC repair budget in half.

2 Inefficient IT ProcessesSigns
• Your software updates take too much time because you cannot simultaneously
and dynamically push them to many machines . Instead, you have to make one-
at-a-time adjustments to individual machines.
• You are experiencing more downtime and your help desk tickets are increasing
because you don’t have the right tools to monitor health and performance.
• You rely on manual processes and disparate endpoint management solutions
for provisioning, securing, and maintaining client devices. If problems arise,
your business users hand over their devices to IT for undetermined periods of
time, increasing end-user downtime and causing lost productivity.
How desktop and application virtualization can help
With desktop and application virtualization, you get simplified IT management.
You can relieve the burden on your IT organization by delivering and monitoringapplications and services from a single pane of glass and by updating images or
applications on hundreds of machines at the push of a button.
Desktop and application virtualization can help you reduce downtime with
centralized management and tools that allow your IT team to monitor the health
and performance of your desktop environment in a proactive manner.
Capabilities like these help you spot and proactively address issues as they
emerge.
Desktop and application virtualization also allows your IT team to efficiently
provision new client instances. You can spend less time preparing devices for
new users and new applications and you can deliver patches and updateswithout requiring hands-on access to endpoint devices. With desktop
transformation, the physical location of the device becomes less important.
Thanks to virtualization, you can even streamline application delivery by
deploying tools for real-time delivery with life cycle management. All
applications in your virtualized environment can be centrally managed,
delivered, updated, and maintained on demand.
You can also streamline and reduce your image inventory to select gold images
or potentially even a single image. Better still, you can free up IT resources for
higher-value work by providing employees with self-service tools for
provisioning corporate applications and services.
Manufacturing Company
Realizes Concrete Benefits
with Virtual Desktops
At U.S. manufacturer Dayton
Superior, a VMware virtual
desktop deployment resulted
in faster provisioning, easier
management of desktops, and
reduced costs. In another key
benefit, the company’s virtual
desktop environment brought a
smaller disaster recovery footprint,
which lowered operating costs,
while help desk volume decreased
dramatically—the number of
trouble tickets went from 50 per
week to nearly zero.

CASE STUDY
VIRTUAL CLIENTCOMPUTING
Virtual client computing
(VCC) comprises desktopcomputing models that
leverage a range of
virtualization software and
delivery models. IDC notes:
“A distinct advantage of
VCC is that it enables an IT
organization to centralize
business users’ desktops in
a corporate datacenter,
where the IT organizationis usually located. As a
result, IT staff can more
efficiently provision new
client instances, centralize
desktop management, and
provide endpoint
security—even for systems
residing well outside of the
corporate firewall.” 1

TREND BRIEF
3 Inefficient Business ProcessesSigns
• Your users are forced to work from dedicated
workstations because they can’t share large,
graphically intense files over the network.
• Your users cannot connect from anywhere on anydevice, potentially causing them to miss critical
deadlines.
• Your users experience long login times for devices
and applications, leading to frustration and lost
productivity.
How desktop and application virtualization
can help
Desktop virtualization allows all of your employees to
access feature-rich desktops across devices and
locations. This anywhere, anytime, any device access
helps ensure that your employees can be as
productive as possible at all times , while enjoying the
same features and capabilities they have on physical
endpoints, including printing, access to USB drives
and multi-monitors, and more.
With desktop virtualization, many large business
applications used by designers, architects, and
engineers no longer have to be accessed via
high-end workstations. Instead, the applications can
be virtualized and accessed across a wide range of
devices, from smartphones and tablets to thin clients
and traditional desktops and workstations.
The ability to leverage and manipulate high-end 3D
graphics through a virtual desktop can help your
organization dramatically improve team
collaboration, workflow, and security for intellectual
property, all at a lower cost than that of a traditional
desktop environment.
NetApp Redefines the Office
with Virtual Desktops
Leveraging VMware Horizon,
NetApp successfully deployed
virtualized environments globally
to nearly 10,000 users in 12 days.
Users now have secure access to
internal resources within a familiar
desktop experience across devices
and NetApp corporate offices. A
NetApp senior technical marketing
engineer notes: “We’ve been
able to increase productivity by
enabling engineers to start and
stop work whenever they need
to. Engineers don’t have to be
chained to their desks in order to
get work done securely. Whether
building code on a work laptop or
reading internal wikis on a phone,
employees can access a secure
environment from all devices
without a diminished experience.”

4 Concerns about Security Breaches Signs
• You are concerned about or have experienced viruses and attacks that trigger IT emergencies and disrupt
business continuity.
• You spend a considerable amount of time updating security patches to all devices, and even then you can’t
be sure all settings are standardized and all current security features are in place.
How desktop and application virtualization can help
With desktop and application virtualization, your information is less vulnerable to security breaches. That’s
because your data resides in a secure data center, rather than being stored on—or running on—client devices.
Virtualized desktops can be managed and protected by IT professionals working from a central location. IT
can easily set user policies that control and limit access to critical content and databases.
And with stateless or non-persistent desktops, your users can receive a brand new desktop each time they
log on, which means that no viruses or malware can be carried over from the last session. Centralizing control
also allows you to quickly update security patches to all devices to help ensure that settings are standardized.
You can also implement more efficient disaster recovery, with the ability to host pools of capacity across
data centers and geographies to help keep your business running in the event of an IT emergency or security
breach. In addition, disaster recovery is greatly simplified because you can easily revert virtual desktops back
to their original state.
Good desktop and application virtualization solutions also allow you to enforce contextual policies for your
end users so that client access can be easily controlled and changed depending on where your employees
are and what devices they are using.
And don’t assume that cloud solutions are less secure. Today, you can enjoy integrated security
capabilities, such as secure point-to-point network connectivity, dedicated compute, and features for
network isolation. Capabilities like these protect your business-critical data and applications while enabling
users to work on the devices of their choice, wherever they are.

5 Anytime, Anywhere WorkersSigns
• You no longer have a traditional office environment. Instead, you have a distributed workforce with
employees working from remote offices, home offices, airports, and just about anywhere else.
• Your employees expect to access information at their fingertips and collaborate in the office, at home, and
on the go, online or offline.
• Your business is global and your workers need 24/7 workplace connectivity from regions around the world.
• You have various types of workers, ranging from full -time employees to contractors and road warriors.
How desktop and application virtualization can help
With desktop and application vir tualization, you can give your end users fast, consistent, and contextual
access to services across devices and locations. They can walk up to any device, anywhere, and access their
full desktops, with single sign-on to improve productivity and satisfaction. This flexibility helps your
organization improve both employee productivity and satisfaction.
For road warriors who need to be productive even when working offline, look to containerized desktop
solutions. These solutions provide the central management and policy-setting capabilities found in traditionaldesktop and application virtualization solutions along with the flexibility needed by end users when accessing
their local compute devices, even those that are employee owned.
6 Device ExpansionSigns
• You have users who want to use a wide range of devices that deliver a consistent experience to get their
work done.
• You have users who want the freedom and flexibility to customize and install applications.
How desktop and application virtualization can help
With desktop and application vir tualization, your BYOD users can use personal or corporate Windows
laptops, Macs, Chromebooks, Android tablets, home computers, or smartphones and still log on to the same
session with the same settings. A single interface gives users a unified workspace and a consistent and
seamless experience across a range of devices.
For even greater freedom and flexibility, your users can install whatever they want on their own devices
because the virtual desktop session is completely separated from applications installed on the device.
Cooperative Modernizes
Retail Operations with

Southern States Cooperative
deployed VMware Horizon to
deliver virtualized desktops and
applications to employees who
work in the field. Employees
can now work at the farm gate,
provide real-time quotes, and
take orders from customers.
By the time the sales reps get
back to the office, products and
services are already in the works.
Even better, the virtual desktop
solution has greatly acceleratedthe onboarding process for
new employees. The company’s
manager of infrastructure delivery
services notes: “With the old
way, it was taking days, if not
weeks. We’re now able to onboard
employees within one day.”

TREND BRIEF
7 Shifting Business ConditionsSigns
• Your business is very dynamic. You could
experience sudden expansion due to mergers or
acquisitions. You also must accommodate seasonal
surges in employees.
• Workers who join your company permanently or on
a part-time basis are most comfortable and
productive working on the devices of their choice.
How desktop and application virtualization
can help
Desktop and application virtualization is designed for
scalability. You can easily bring on new workers and
support new devices to keep pace with the growth
and evolution of your business and seasonal spikes in
numbers of employees.
And with virtual desktops as a service (DaaS), you
can respond quickly to unanticipated demand in an
affordable manner, paying for only what you need.
Good cloud solutions also allow you to pair cloud
management with on-premises infrastructure for
maximum flexibility or in the event that you have
security/compliance mandates that require you to
maintain your desktops and infrastructure on your
premises.
