Smart Business Desktop Cloud

Traditional desktop environments are time-consuming and expensive to support and secure. But you may be concerned that virtualizing your desktops requires expertise you do not have in house and could disrupt end-user productivity.

For many organizations, the desktop remains among the most visible, most frequently used components in their IT infrastructure. However, it can also be one of the most expensive to deploy, refresh and support. As end users move toward greater workplace mobility—often bringing in their own devices—their need for secure, “anytime, anywhere” access to corporate applications and data grows. Yet transitioning to a virtualized environment from traditional desktops can be a time-consuming effort, often requiring specialized skills that are not readily available in house.

IBM Smart Business Desktop Cloud can help accelerate your transition to a less complex, virtualized desktop environment, leveraging a cloud computing infrastructure. A broader range of end users, from power users to disconnected users, may have faster, more security-rich access to resources, helping to improve their productivity and increasing business flexibility. With robust services—including assessment and planning, design and implementation—IBM can address your unique end-user requirements. You can derive the benefits without having to invest resources and expertise needed for ongoing management of a virtualized environment.
