To virtualize or not to virtualize? Our new white paper (PDF) explores why now is the right time for desktop virtualization.

What if you could deliver desktops with all the security and efficiency benefits of thin-client computing, but still give users the freedom to work with the rich, personalized desktops that they’re familiar with?

With CSC Virtual Desktop Services you can. Using a combination of thin-client, virtualization, and secure access technologies we deliver highly flexible personal desktop environments that are accessible from anywhere. CSC Virtual Desktop Services replace a traditional PC on your desk with a keyboard, mouse, flat panel display and "cable box" like appliance.

The user works through their display and appliance to use their PC that now resides in a protected and managed data center environment. Support teams provide help desk services, can upgrade software, handle the anti-virus and patching, as well as execute the back-up and restoration of a PC, if needed. This new architecture improves many aspects of personal computing and simplifies the end user's PC experience.

There are two key service offerings in our CSC Virtual Desktop Services portfolio:

CSC Dynamic Desktop — powered by Citrix — is based on advanced Citrix virtual desktop software, especially its communication protocol and connection broker technology. Users can access their desktop by logging on from a Web page.

CSC Anywhere Desktop — powered by Sun — uses Sun servers, software, and Sun Ray desktop appliances. Users simply plug in a 'smart card' to access their desktop from any Sun Ray station or web browser.

We offer end-to-end expertise, from strategy development and solution design, to implementation and ongoing management and support.
