Devon IT to Host Desktop Virtualization Webinars for Public Sector Companies
Healthcare, education and government-based IT experts to discuss cost and management benefits of virtualizing desktops with company experts
Devon IT technical sales manager Rafael Gonzalez will host a series of webinars outlining desktop virtualization benefits and alternative desktop computing models. Developed for IT personnel from healthcare, government, and education entities, the webinars will be held on Thursday, July 23, at 10:00 AM EST (https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/477635392) and 2:00 PM EST (https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/881319408).
Virtualized desktops are hosted on a remote central server instead of on the hard drive of a local personal computer. Desktop virtualization software separates an individual’s PC applications, files, data, etc. from their desktop. Benefits of this computing model include lowering the total cost of ownership, extending hardware life cycles, increasing security, lowering energy output, and centralizing desktop management.
“Many schools, healthcare facilities and government agencies are switching from PCs to server-hosted desktops, citing cost-savings as a main reason,” noted Joe Makoid, president of Devon IT. “Virtual desktops can help IT personnel realize significant security, total cost of ownership, increased productivity and flexibility benefits. We are excited to discuss the top trends in virtualization with public sector IT experts across the country.”
Devon IT’s line of thin clients, including the TC2, TC5, TC10, and SafeBook® laptop, run virtualization software from the industry’s leaders, namely VMware, Citrix, and RedHat. End users receive desktop experiences that rival traditional desktop PCs at a fraction of the cost.
