Desktops are a changin'!

Whether you're a corporation, a large healthcare entity like a hospital, a school, or other large organization, your understanding of PCs and data on the PC will change over the next couple of years. Here's why:

You're ready to update your corporate image to SP3 and add a new application to your 4000 PCs in 30 offices across the US. (Remember how fun the last one was?) Oh, and the hardware is getting old and the new application needs more resources. Now you have to do a PC deployment, data migration (hoping all the while the data is in their "My Documents" folder), figure out how to dispose of all those older assets, and delete all the data on the hard drive (better DOD wipe them), and make sure whoever you give them to doesn't eventually dump them in a landfill only to have EPA finds it!

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has grown from buzzword into reality. The concept is simple: create a virtual PC just like you would a virtual server, and deploy it to a thin client, saving time, minimizing hardware resources, and simplifying management.

Please join us for this live, interactive online event, where we will describe VDI and the new technologies that make it a reality. You'll also hear:

• How VDI builds on the concept of client consolidation, which has been delivering total cost of ownership savings for 10 years
• What value VDI can have for your organization
• Which problems VDI solves, and why
• Why IBM and Intel are on the forefront of next generation client technology, offering a variety of solutions for a wide range of IT requirements

Register today for this exciting eSeminar and replace the scenario above with this one:

Your admin updates your current image with SP3, adds the new application, tests it, and then creates a virtual PC template. You're done - the next time any of your organization's thin clients restart, they receive the new image. Could it get any easier?
