Red Hat has launched Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops (RHEV-D). The solution would allow customers to deploy Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) on servers located in centralized datacenters, thereby bringing scalable, centralized provisioning and management of their desktop systems. Users can connect to these virtual desktops using either inexpensive thin clients or re-purposed PCs.
For most organizations, the compelling reason for deploying a virtual desktop is the reduction of capital and maintenance expenditures when compared to a physical personal computer. Prominent areas for such savings are: capital savings, power savings and simplified management.
"The ability to migrate, secure and manage end-users via a single solution are key benefits of virtual desktop infrastructure, and Wyse is excited about Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization," said Param Desai, Director of Virtualization Solutions Product Management at Wyse Technology.
