There's been a lot of buzz among small and medium-sized businesses (SMB’s) about the benefits of desktop virtualization. And it's no surprise -- desktop virtualization is an outstanding technology option that makes it easy for your business’ IT infrastructure to grow as your business changes and expands. Scalability is an important factor in any IT investment, but desktop virtualization offers a variety of other benefits.

Desktop Virtualization Saves Time

The option to save time during your workday is something most people wouldn't pass up. For those who would benefit from some extra time, one appealing aspect of desktop virtualization is its ability to do just that — save you time. Compared to the hours it can take to set up a personal computer with the appropriate hardware, software and updates, deploying a virtual desktop can be done in a matter of minutes.

But saving time continues well after the initial desktop deployment. End users can access their desktop from any remote location, allowing business to continue even when employees are physically out of the office. Not only can desktop access increase, maintenance tasks are reduced because support techs can deploy upgrades, updates, hot fixes and patches to all virtual desktops simultaneously.

Desktop Virtualization Saves Money

Not only do virtual desktops save time — they also save money. For the small or medium-sized business interested in reining in IT costs, deploying a virtual environment will be far less costly than deploying a slew of networked PCs. Why? Because you can make use of less-expensive thin client machines rather than costly personal computers.

Desktop virtualization can also save crucial funds by reducing the time spent by IT staff on routine desktop maintenance. With desktop virtualization, the IT department can more easily manage day-to-day maintenance and support tasks, allotting those newly found hours to projects that are more directly tied to business profits.

Desktop Virtualization Offers Security

Desktop virtualization also offers outstanding data security. Because no data is stored on the end user's computer, sensitive data stays protected on the company server. This means that a laptop left in an airport or rendered useless by an accidental fall will be an inconvenience, but not a major security issue.

A virtual desktop environment also offers an additional level of protection against malware and viruses. Because end users have no local hard drives and only have access to the network via the virtual desktop, the chance of them knowingly or unknowingly passing along a virus, Trojan horse or other malware to the network is greatly reduced, if not eliminated.

Desktop Virtualization Makes Computing Convenient

Certainly, deploying a virtual desktop environment makes day-to-day management easier and more convenient for your IT staff, but they're not the only ones who can benefit. End users will benefit from the convenience of desktop virtualization as well.

Desktop virtualization provides businesses with the opportunity to give end users access to their desktops, no matter where they are. Whether your employee is sitting in his office or is sitting with his laptop in an airport in Italy, as long as he has Internet access and the proper login credentials, he'll be good to go. With the number of traveling and telecommuting employees continuing to rise, the convenience of logging in to a virtual desktop is undeniable.
