Desktop virtualization requirements and challenges

As cloud computing becomes the new normal in IT, users are confronted with the challenges of integrating terminal virtualization, application virtualization, and desktop cloud services based on hybrid cloud to meet the business needs at different stages. The rapid growth in the number of terminals has brought about a startup storm, posing challenges to business stability and user experience. To cope with the dynamic development of business and the rapid evolution of IT technologies in the digital era, users need to carefully evaluate the desktop cloud solutions.

Dell EMC Desktop Virtualization and DaaS Typical Application Scenarios

Small and medium-sized enterprise desktop virtualization and DaaS applications

The Dell EMC FX2 integrated architecture, as a choice for desktop virtualization all-in-one devices, offers users flexible options for computing modules, storage modules, and network modules. Compared to traditional architectures, the FX all-in-one device can support 72% more desktop users, reduce data center footprint by 91%, and significantly lower energy consumption and IT management and operation costs.

Enterprise-level desktop virtualization and DaaS application scenarios

Based on VMware Horizon® 7 Enterprise Edition and hyper-converged technology, Dell EMC provides an enterprise-level desktop virtualization reference architecture for enterprise users, featuring multi-site, high availability, and cross-regional capabilities. This ensures that hardware and data center failures will not affect business continuity and security.

Rich Media Desktop Cloud Solution

For professional applications such as 3D design and rendering, Dell EMC offers a desktop virtualization solution based on Horizon 7. By integrating NVIDIA GPU technology, it meets the demand for graphic processing performance in professional applications. The Dell EMC PowerEdge 730 provides technical support for GPUs, enabling professional users to deliver professional rendering and design cloud studio applications without the need to upgrade the terminal graphics card. The Dell EMC server without agent lifecycle management and remote management (iDRAC) significantly reduces the management intensity of cloud studio deployment, while the redundant SD design of the server enhances the high availability of virtualized business.

Dell Call Center

The characteristics of service outsourcing and customer service centers are that there are relatively few applications and the users of these applications frequently change. Therefore, permission management, terminal operations and data security are the key points. For customer service centers and service outsourcing, Dell EMC Wyse Zero Terminal can minimize the risk of data leakage in the customer service center and enhance the security of the center’s business and data.
