Desktop announced today a new program that helps enterprises easily evaluate the benefits of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) without building the environment themselves. The new Desktone Desktops as a Service (DaaS) Pilot will be available beginning October 1, 2008.
Many organizations want to adopt VDI for its cost and flexibility benefits but are holding off because of its tremendous complexity and the financial commitment required to build and support the infrastructure,” said Les Yetton, Desktone’s senior vice president of sales, marketing and business development. “With our new Desktone DaaS Pilot, they can quickly see how consuming VDI as a hosted service would eliminate these obstacles, and experience exactly how DaaS could work in their environment and help their business.”
