Simple, Secure Workforce Flexibility
Simplify the process of maintaining, distributing and patching applications, as well as reducing desktop management labor and staffing cost with a client virtualization solution from Dell. We can provide you with a consistent and centrally managed desktop environment by running the client desktop or virtual machine on a virtualized solution stack that’s using virtualization software. This transfers the virtual desktop workload from the device (thin client, smartphone, tablets, laptops and so on) to the managed infrastructure and allows users to seamlessly access their regular desktops from inexpensive low-end, thin-client or shared machines.
All client virtualization solutions are not created equal. Dell brings a unique combination of expertise, analysis, resource and experience to the table. You can choose how much — or how little — you want to manage, and we'll help you create the right balance of workforce flexibility, application support, data security and economies of scale to respond to market demand, wherever it is.
When you virtualize with Dell, you increase operating efficiency, user performance and cost control. We work with software virtualization leaders, including VMware®, Microsoft® and Citrix® to drive the evolution of client virtualization. Plus, our consistent use of best practices, along with innovative upgrades in technology, tools, processes and security makes you more effective at delivering business outcomes.
