    Today most music is distributed digitally via downloads from the internet. With a few short clicks you can get the album you want and play it on a device that is compact, portable and reliable. And if the experience isn’t quick and easy you’ll simply find an alternative that’s faster or easier. IT service delivery has become much the same way for most organizations. Today’s IT consumers have increasingly higher expectations – if they can download music in just a few...

    This post was published on behalf of Sheryl Koenigsberg. Sheryl is a manager in the Storage Solutions marketing group at Dell. Recently I had a conversation with a customer at a small seminar around his backup environment. It went something like this: Me : You know, you use EqualLogic so you could supplement what you’re doing for backups with snapshots and replication during the day. Him : Yes – we’ve talked about doing that but never got around to it. How would...

    • 0 Comments
    A recent research paper by Intel on Desktop Virtualization Insights for IT Strategic Planning points out that the primary reason customers adopt Desktop Virtualization is for client security. This is consistent with other research I've read, but begs a question. Does VDI in its own right provide better client security than a physical client? The answer is "That depends". Central control of client data, operating system and applications is worth its weight in gold. Patches, policy...

    “It’s in the cloud!!” seems to be a buzzword for IT and for good reason. Software and services can be more effectively managed and deployed from a central point, but why stop at a single application or service? Why not move the entire desktop to the cloud? Dell’s Virtual Desktop-as-a-Service , part of the Dell Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DVS) portfolio, does just that.
