Course Content

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is being widely deployed in Data Centers by IT managers to centralize employee desktops, applications and data. Most VDI solutions today run in a virtualized data center environment to further improve the manageability and security derived from consolidating hundreds and thousands of desktops to run on a few powerful servers.

In this important one-day sales class you will learn how to identify potential VDI customers and articulate the benefits of deploying VDI on a FlexPod converged infrastructure, including:

  • Why should enterprises simplify and streamline desktop operations with fewer servers and cables?
  • How do enterprises alleviate concerns about security?
  • What is the value in guaranteeing performance to end users, even as that community keeps growing?
  • How does Cisco UCS solve common VDI problems and deliver performance to power users
  • How is VDI cost justified?
