Neither BYOD and/or desktop virtualization are inherently bad. If the funding is there for the correct licensing and the benefits of improved security and device and account management are realized, these approaches can be quite favorable to you. Server virtualization is the generally accepted standard, the dominant model if you will. Today’s servers are far too massive, far too dense for single applications and perhaps more importantly, far too massive and dense for licensing. Microsoft has moved towards its Core […]

Desktop virtualization and licensing

Software management, hardware imaging and refreshment, and BYOD (the “edge devices”) are not only cost containment strategies, they can be key business differentiators. By ensuring anytime, anywhere access, executives, account managers, and technicians are able to remain connected to the information they require. This connectivity introduces a multitude of devices that must be managed, utilized, and, in some cases, transported. And that introduces the problem of multiple versions. Licensing all these different devices introduces excess cost. Desktop virtualization eases these […]
