Desktop Virtualization

Desktop environments typically consist of individual physical workstations that contain hard drives that store applications and data.

A virtual desktop functions as a physical computer, but with one exception—its applications, data, and hardware resources are hosted on a single server that is accessed by numerous users from their desk or thin client. In fact, a single workstation can house dozens of virtual desktops and intelligently allocate computing resources “on the fly” as users require them.

IGI has the expertise to deliver virtual desktops to the marketplace and can integrate this flexible solution seamlessly into your organization. Using VMware software to accelerate the desktop virtualization process, IGI can immediately help you realize a number of benefits:

• Improve security by hosting data within the data center rather than at the desktop

• Centralize management of software and applications, enabling back-ups, upgrades and complete maintenance to be performed from one location

• Enable new desktops to be created in minutes by copying other virtual desktops

• Support mobile users

• Standardize desktop builds
