Desktop Provisioning Effectively addressing complex challenges on an even larger scale
Companies are looking to save both hardware and operational costs by deploying virtual desktops in place of dedicated personal computers. The challenges of managing virtual desktop deployments are similar to those for virtual server deployments, but with greater complexity due to greater numbers. Relative to server fan-out rations of 10 VMs per physical server, desktops can reach 100:1 or higher.
How Virtual Resource Manager helps
DynamicOps Virtual Resource Manager provides a scalable, efficient approach for companies looking to manage a virtual desktop infrastructure. This is enabled by the following VRM capabilities:
- Self service portal – Centralized portal used by authorized customers to request resources and IT to monitor provisioning status.
- Compliance enforcement – Desktops are built according to predefined specifications and can be updated centrally as needed.
- Scalable management – A single VRM instance can manage tens of thousands of virtual machines. VRM's federated management architecture abstracts the complexities of managing via multiple virtualization managers concurrently.
- Multi-vendor virtualization – Desktops have significantly different requirements and cost points compared with servers. VRM provides common management across both virtual servers and virtual desktops regardless of the virtualization technology used.
