End-to-end virtualisation differs from but at the same time extends the benefits of server virtualisation.
Server virtualisation enables administrators to run multiple operating systems on one physical server and this has many advantages. End-to-end virtualisation includes all of those advantages, however, by virtualising applications and desktops as well, administrators have a true infrastructure solution.
To truly impact the business, server virtualisation on its own is not enough - IT requires the power of virtualisation from the datacenter for servers and applications all the way to the desktop.
Traditional desktop deployments can be costly to manage, support and secure on distributed endpoint PCs. Desktop IT Operations are forced to repeat numerous, manual tasks to keep up with the latest patches and updates, and upgrades and refreshes to maintain desktop performance.
Meanwhile, business initiatives like globalisation, branch office expansion, regulatory compliance and workforce continuity demand that IT be able to deliver secure desktops quickly to anywhere.
Citrix XenDesktop makes it easy to respond to these business demands by centralising Windows desktops in the datacentre and providing a high-speed delivery protocol. With a comprehensive set of built-in technologies, XenDesktop eliminates many of the complexities involved in trying to assemble, operate and scale a desktop virtualisation solution.
