American Food Company could save $500,000 by adopting a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) using VMware View. Traditional desktops are outdated and costly to manage, requiring hardware upgrades, patching, and on-site support. VDI provides a centralized, streamlined management system that delivers virtual desktops and applications to users securely on any device. It reduces IT costs by up to 50% through lower support needs, faster deployment and updates, and improved productivity and flexibility for the growing number of mobile employees. VDI is the inevitable future of computing and will help Americana adapt to new workforce expectations while gaining a competitive business advantage.

Desktops Have Outlived Their Lives::
 Desktop is 20 to 25 years old idea/concept and the technology.
Its use and sales are declining year over year.. PC/Desktops
shipment dropped by 14% in first quarter of 2013 than 2012 and
are further dropping qtr over qtr.
 During its lifecycle, hardware footprint became smaller, laptops
came, more powerful multi core processors came, new windows
versions appeared one after the other.
 We all have love and hate relationship with our desktops/laptops
 Actually , no fundamental innovation was seen in the desktops
 Now Windows 8 sales have leveled off, no growth is seen in the
face of modern tablets , new smart phones etc.

Americana End Users Perspective !
Irksome Go To the Desktop Break Fix Calls
Fixing issues on site or by teamviewer , back up, windows corruption etc etc, at Head Office as well as
multiple remote locations/offices. Considerable user down time as well IT department time and costs.
Americana’s Users Inter Offices/Branches Shifting and Movement
Entails either the desktop to be also shifted along with the user or create a time consuming new profile all
together for the user at his new location.
Migrations to New Win 7 or Win 8
On 1000 odd desktops, could be a very very challenging, week to months, time consuming effort, expensive
long winded effort for Americana IT department. However , with VDI, it is a matter of few hours job, right
from the VDI data center control & command room.
Upgrading of Desktop Specs for New Windows OS like Windows 8, 8.1 On
going more and more costs..
Patching Windows Updates
On each and every desktop, any time, could be hogging lots of your 50 MBPS bandwidth expensive Internet leased line,
slowing down your users WAN connectivity for business apps

Americana’s End Users Perspective contd..
Growing Gen Y Workforce in the Offices::
New gen age around 30, who have lived their entire lifespan in the digital age, and they only are
interested in and want today’s swanky gadgets like iPAD, Galaxy, iPhone, Blackberry, Lumia,
Kindle Fire etc.. They don’t want to get bogged down or tied down by the traditional desktop or
laptop provided by the offices.. This is known as BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) revolution
happening in the corporate offices. Only VDI, initiatives taken early on can keep or attract your
young talented workforce in Americana. VDI makes their desktop chase them , anywhere, anytime
on any of these handy devices of today.
Necessity is the Mother of Invention::
VDI has come of age into the mainstream, because of the agony, frustration, sleepless nights, costs
overrun of the distributed processing, client server architecture of 90’s era has brought to the
offices, businesses and the world.
VDI is Inevitable::
Let us face it, PC is fast becoming defunct giving way to thin clients, zero clients ,tablets, smart
phones etc.. Sooner you embrace it , more and more benefits Americana will reap in terms of its
ROI, user productivity, retraining its lead in the forefront of insurance business in the UAE.
