Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes355 views
The document discusses how workspace automation can unify desktop virtualization and client management by providing a consistent user experience across delivery methods. It summarizes RES Software's Dynamic Desktop Studio product, which sits above various Microsoft delivery architectures to manage profiles and applications centrally. The product aims to simplify management and enhance security and productivity compared to managing delivery methods individually.

- 9. Client Computing Architectural OptionsGartnerKey Findings“The traditional choice of thick-client versus thin-client computing is being augmented by virtualization and streaming technology. Applications can reside centrally but still run locally, and the thick-client computing environments used for local execution can be hosted or streamed.”Recommendations“Ensure that you understand how each architecture integrates with existing management infrastructure, as failure to do so will increase management complexity and cost.”Source: “Choosing From 10 Client Computing Architectural Options”, Brian Gammage, February 2010J

- 11. Complexity of infrastructure managementNo single delivery solution covers all use casesAll SBC architectures involve some sort of compromiseNot all applications can be virtualized (either locally or remotely)The proverbial “Year of VDI” that never comesThe rich PC is still the dominant endpoint architectureWindows Client market share as of 3/15/11 = 89.69%**NetMarketShareJ
- 12. The Reality of OS and App Delivery “Hybrid Desktop” is emergingMany organizations are combining delivery approaches to satisfy the increasingly complex requirements of their end-usersManagement and security models are disparateEach delivery mechanism is independently managed and securedManagement and security approach for thick-clients and traditionally installed apps doesn’t map well to virtualized delivery models and vice versa (time of deployment vs. time of access)User experience is fragmentedDesktop resources and personalization are inconsistent across the different delivery models, which impacts end-user productivityJ
