Desktop Virtualization
Whether you’re exploring the possibility of a virtualized desktop implementation, expanding your existing virtualization solution to your desktop environment, or standardizing on desktop virtualization across your entire IT infrastructure, VMware Professional Services can add strategic value at every step of the process.
Drawing on the broad experience of hundreds of customer implementations, VMware consultants and partners will focus on the application of VMware Desktop Virtualization technology in your IT environment to solve your specific business challenges.
 |
This process begins by clearly defining and documenting your project goals, requirements and success criteria from both a business and technical standpoint. We introduce and explain key product features, assess your current environment, implement pilot projects to determine key success criteria and measure results, design and plan the implementation, and transfer knowledge through documentation and on-site demos. |
By working together to plan, design and build your desktop virtualization infrastructure, VMware Professional Services will:
- Accelerate the rollout and reduce the risk of the move to a virtual desktop infrastructure.
- Develop and standardize on repeatable, efficient provisioning processes for virtual desktops.
- Improve desktop security and business continuity while gaining greater control over your desktop infrastructure.
- Leverage VMware and industry best practices, and the in-depth expertise of our consultants to deploy your desktop infrastructure successfully.
