With 2010 set to be the year for virtual desktops, the number of SME's looking into desktop virtualisation has shot up in recent months.
A new survey has revealed that around a third of all SME's are currently looking into desktop virtualisation. But how can virtual desktops benefit SME's?
Research from VMWare has revealed that SME's benefit from virtual desktops for a large number of reasons. The areas where firms reported the largest improvements were IT administrative tasks (73%), application availability (71%), ability to respond to changing business needs (68%) and back up and data protection (67%).
Other benefits included business continuity and company profitability. Most of the benefits lie in the fact that virtual desktops allow users to share information easily, saving firms both time and money. They also eliminate the need to constantly update both hardware and software.
"Even a very small business with only a few servers can benefit from virtualisation, and it's easy to get started," said Joe Andrews, group manager of product marketing at VMware.
