Kaviza for Manufacturers: Better margins

Less downtime, lower costs with Kaviza

Unplanned downtime of either the manufacturing PCs or user desktops is expensive to manufacturers as it disrupts production. Kaviza helps manufacturers reduce unplanned downtime, minimize disruption to users, while increasing the flexibility of administrators and lowering costs.

Kaviza benefits for manufacturers include:

• Reduce unplanned downtime.   With Kaviza, you can control when desktops get refreshed with the latest changes to minimize disruption. Schedule updates so they hit when the PCs are least in use.
• End-user productivity untouched by patching cycles.   With Kaviza, the desktops can be in active use while you are preparing updates and patches to the master images. Once you are ready to deploy, you can control via policies when the desktops get refreshed. This minimizes disruption to manufacturing PCs and end-users.
• Easy to replicate with IT of varying expertise.  Kaviza can be deployed and managed easily by desktop IT — this makes it easy to replicate Kaviza across manufacturing sites which may have IT staff of varying skillsets, without re-training.
• Reduce desktop support and management by over 80%.  Kaviza virtual desktops lower both upfront and ongoing desktop costs. Kaviza requires minimal upfront investment, and runs on inexpensive commodity servers. Customers estimate over 80% reduction in desktop support costs using Kaviza. If a desktop misbehaves, simply regenerate a new pristine desktop. To update and patch desktops, simply update the master image and all the desktops get the latest changes.
• Kiosks.  Kaviza makes it easy to setup kioks to manage the shop floors. Kaviza's kiosk-mode enables you to specify desktops based on the endpoint devices, and automates their provisioning and management.
