VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure


The ChallengeFirms are embracing the virtual desktop, but traditional networked storage is ill-equipped to deliver what a virtual desktop environment needs. Organizations are replacing standard desktop computers with “virtual desktops” to support new levels of user mobility and greater centralization of desktop management. Unfortunately, these benefits are diminished by the waste and complexity of provisioning, managing, and recovering virtual desktops with traditional "fat" SAN and NAS storage infrastructures. In addition, virtual desktop performance can be another major challenge for traditional storage. But there is a better way— with utility storage and 3PAR Thin Copy Desktop.
