Desktop Virtualization Assessment

Prepare Your Organization for Desktop Virtualization

Prepare for the successful adoption of your desktop virtualization initiative with a comprehensive understanding of the scope of changes to your organization. Unlike server virtualization projects that are limited to the data center, the impact of desktop virtualization initiatives spans the organization.

Desktop virtualization can impact:

• People—Administrative groups that have previously had little or no interaction will now have to work together.
• Processes—Processes that once ran in parallel will likely merge, becoming streamlined and more agile.
• Technology—Various technologies that previously operated separately will now come together to form the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

The scope of changes brought by desktop virtualization can include:

• How desktop virtualization will impact IT Management personnel and end users.  

Team members will need to understand the interdependencies and impact of their work across the organization, how they may interact with new technology groups, how different work groups will be affected, who in the organization needs to be involved in the transition, and what skills and or training can foster   success.

• How desktop virtualization will impact processes.

Organizations will need to develop a broad understanding of the changes that come with desktop virtualization, including how processes are likely to merge and become more agile, and how to develop effective plans to transition to the new technology.

• How desktop virtualization will impact technology.

IT organizations need to identify which users and applications can and should be virtualized, how previously disparate systems will come together to form the virtual desktop environment, and how to support and maintain a virtualized user community.

The right level of planning can enhance the success of an organization’s transition to desktop virtualization and accelerate the potential cost savings and operational efficiency benefits of adopting this technology. The GANTECH Desktop Virtualization Assessment can get your planning started on the right track. For more information about desktop virtualization services, contact us at info@gantech.net or call 1-877-242-6832.
