Virtualization at EMC: From Provisioning PCs to Provisioning Users
Productivity in the Cloud EMC views client virtualization as a key step toward a private cloud environment that will transform the enterprise and improve productivity for its global workforce. “Part of the reason I’m enjoying this project so much is that virtual computing at EMC isn’t a little point project that we’re doing simply to check off a box or gain the great efficiencies and economies,” Stambaugh says. “It’s one component of an overall strategy that’s meant to provide our users with more choice, enhance their productivity, and give them the flexibility to do their jobs from almost any device at any time and in a high-performing fashion. Of course it’s also meant to provide unified management for IT and maintain a strong security posture.”
Client virtualization at EMC is a response to changing workforce trends. “The consumerization of IT is not a buzzword for us,” Stambaugh says. “It’s real. We have to be on top of it or we’re not going to bring in and keep the talent that’s going to help us continue to succeed as a company. We also have a huge demand to provide mobile users with universal access to their desktops from whatever devices they want to use. Ultimately, I don’t care about managing devices. I care about enabling productivity. We really are at an infection point that’s taking us from provisioning PCs to provisioning users.”
Stambaugh expects the client virtualization project will deliver a big payoff for IT by streamlining desktop management, simplifying the migration to Microsoft Windows* 7, lowering the number of unmanaged client platforms, enhancing security, and providing other benefits.
