Ease transition to Windows 7
Lower migration angst and costs with Kaviza virtual desktops
Upgrading to Windows 7 is a major undertaking — Kaviza virtual desktops help ease this transition in
several ways:
- Minimize disruption to end-users. During the transition period, you can provide users with Windows 7 virtual desktops while still allowing them to retain their XP environment. And then cut over when you are ready.
- Target test users easily. Target which users get access to the Windows 7 environment easily within Kaviza by simply using Active Directory groups.
- Reuse existing PCs with Windows 7. You don't have to buy new client desktops, simply repurpose current PCs as endpoints to the virtual desktops
- Lower upfront infrastructure costs. In addition to cost savings from repurposed PCs, you also have minimal infrastructure costs to run Kaviza. Since Kaviza runs on inexpensive commodity servers, and you can start with just one server, you can start with a limited Windows 7 rollout and scale it incrementally over time.
- Reduce time and costs of imaging Windows 7 desktops. Instead of reimaging every desktop with Windows 7, simply create a Windows 7 virtual desktop image in Kaviza. You can test this and once ready to rollout, you can deploy it to users in minutes.
