Computer Weekly – 19 June 2012: How to succeed at desktop virtualisation
In this week’s Computer Weekly, our latest Buyer's Guide examines the tools, technologies and best practices for success in desktop virtualisation. We ask if a six-year-old hardware technology – Trusted Platform Module - could be a key to tackling IT security threats. We look at how universities are dealing with their IT challenges as they await the first intake of students at new higher tuition fees. Deloitte's CIO talks about how the global advisory firm is introducing a bring your own device (BYOD) scheme. And we look at new environmental guidelines that will help companies understand the carbon footprint of their IT. Read the issue now.
Buyer's Guide to desktop virtualisation – part one: How to exploit thin-client computing
Thin-client computing – or more accurately, server-based computing – has been around for years. We look at how the technology can help cut costs and improve flexible working while maintaining security, as part of a desktop virtualisation strategy.
Could 2012 be the year TPM security technology reaches critical mass?
Since 2006, many new computing devices have been sold with a built-in trusted platform module (TPM) chip, but enterprises have yet to embrace the technology in their information security strategies.

Desktop Virtualisation: The Essential Guide
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: Editorial Resource Guide
Desktop virtualisation, or virtual desktop infrastructure, has come of age, partly thanks to shifts in workplace practices. Employees are increasingly working remotely and need full access to corporate systems. It is often inconvenient to use the corporate laptop but the user still needs access to the systems offsite.
This has been the traditional use case, but as devices such as the iPad and Android tablets have grown in popularity, IT leaders have faced the dilemma of providing continued access to corporate applications, many of which still require a Windows client.
Modern desktop virtualisation enables the user to “run” applications on whatever device they use, so long as there is a suitable VDI client.
Over time, VDI companies have provided a richer multimedia experience on the remote device, such as graphics acceleration and sound, giving the user a better overall experience.
In the Forrester Wave report for server-based virtual desktops in 2015, the analyst noted: “The more latency there is between the client device and the datacentre, the more lag the user will experience with common activities. Additionally, common use cases such as watching a video or using graphics-rich applications, can consume 10 to 20 times more bandwidth than when using typical word processing or enterprise client/server applications in a VDI session.”
Therefore, fast bandwidth is essential, which renders the effectiveness of VDI over mobile networks – such as 4G – somewhat limited.
