How Xangati Drives Accelerated VMware View Proof of Concepts and PilotsVirtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a powerful framework to enable an entirely new and productive computing experience. Organizations that successfully undertake this endeavor often find significant operational cost savings by reducing the complexity of managing remote site and remote access computing users. At the same time, VDI delivers productivity benefits by providing anytime, anywhere access to mission critical applications from any mobile computing device whether that is a tablet PC or a smartphone. |

Five Virtualization Pitfalls to AvoidThis white paper, authored by Zeus Kerravala, SVP of The Yankee Group, shines the light on five virtualization pitfalls research has proven to have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of virtualization implementations. The list of five pitfalls comes from The Yankee Group’s clients’ hands-on experiences in finding out “what not to do.” And by enumerating these five pitfalls, a blueprint is created of how to effectively plan for and address each one of these issues—which, in turn, leads to smoother and faster virtualization projects. |

Answering Ten Tough Questions on Managing VirtualizationIn June 2009, Xangati hosted a webinar with guest speaker, Zeus Kerravala, SVP of The Yankee Group, titled “Managing Virtualization in 2009—A Double Edge Sword.” When doing initial research for the webinar, Zeus quickly observed that the topic of virtualization was entirely rosy—there were no discussions of roadblocks, pitfalls, miscues—and vendors were not answering the tough questions. Not only did Zeus expose and answer those tough questions about virtualization during the webinar, but additional tough questions were asked during the webinar which led to the writing of this paper, “Answering Ten Tough Questions on Managing Virtualization.” |

Managing Virtualization in 2010: A Double-Edged SwordEnterprise IT has undergone significant transformation over the past decade. Ubiquitous, high-speed connectivity has allowed organizations to build out corporate networks that allow workers, customers, vendors, partners, and other constituents to access information instantly. To keep up with the growing demand for greater freedom, organizations are transitioning away from traditional companies to “virtual” enterprises where the users, data, and even the infrastructure that powers the company can be located anywhere and just as quickly moved to another location. |
