Factors such as globalization, compliance, cost management, workforce mobility, and security threats create unprecedented demands on IT departments to provide the desktop infrastructure appropriate for multiple types of users. Successful companies meet these demands by turning their desktop infrastructure from a cost center to a strategic asset while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO), improving security, and increasing availability and organizational agility.
These are the 2 presentations that he will deliver during this event:
13:00 – 14:15: Thin, Thick, Fat, Optimized Desktop… What do you use… What is Microsoft’s vision?
The market has gone from Thin to Thick, to Fat, to Slim… and now to Optimized… What have analysts said over time? How has this market grown? What is Microsoft vision? What are our current investment? During this presentation, Eduardo will go over the Optimized Desktop vision, and how this strategy focuses on meeting your current desktop requirements based on user persona's, rather than implying that one technology fits all. You will also learn more about Microsoft’s presentation, application, and hardware virtualization offerings.
14:30 – 15:45: Analyzing 15,000+ IT Environments World Wide: what have we learned?
In the last 3 years Microsoft has been using the Infrastructure Optimization (IO) model, and has collected a lot of information from our customer base worldwide. In fact, approximately 15,000+ clients have been analyzed. Microsoft has dissected the 3 models, compiled the statistics and revealed the dependencies of each aspect. In this session Eduardo will go over the learning and dependencies that the analysis and 3 years of using the model have yielded. You will also see the dependencies each capability has within and across models, therefore demonstrating the value of a unified IT strategy.
