The Experts Speak: Delivering and Consuming Virtual Desktop Infrastructure as a Service
Tuesday, November 11 2008, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
The second in a complimentary webinar series, join industry experts and key constituents involved in building,
enabling and consuming VDI as a service (including IDC, Desktone, IBM, and Pike
County Schools) as they explore the
economic and technology trends and realities that are driving cloud-hosted
desktops, where DaaS does (and doesn't) make sense, and what to expect as DaaS
adoption grows.
Desktone DaaS - The Evolution of Corporate
Computing
With the Internet continually
redefining how we compute, traditional corporate PCs seem out of place. They can't keep up with today's dynamic
businesses. At the same time, emerging cloud and hosted computing trends are
reshaping the way organizations consume and manage IT. By outsourcing non-strategic IT assets and purchasing
them as a service - namely, desktops as a service (DaaS) - you can drastically
lower desktop TCO, simplify manageability and make your organization much more
responsive and agile.
This series
brings together industry experts and leading desktop virtualization
organizations. Join us as we explore how
cloud and hosted computing can transform the corporate PC from a static device
into a virtualized asset that is delivered as an outsourced subscription service.
