Delivery of hosted virtualized desktops is seeing increasing up take by organizations that want to reduce the cost of deployment and management of end user systems. While desktop virtualization offers many advantages, there are benefits to be gained in areas including performance, scaling and security that can be addressed by choosing the right hosting platform and networking components. By optimizing the network architecture organizations can host and deliver the highest number of view images and users sessions while keeping down the total cost of ownership.
Working together in an end-to-end architecture the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), Application Control Engine (ACE) and Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) provide a solution for increasing the scale, availability and performance of hosted virtual desktops.
