“A year ago, we were talking about virtualization becoming mainstream. Now, we are talking about a virtualization industry. It’s an incredible time to be part of it. Virtualization is driving a complete infrastructure refresh. The data center is getting modernized and getting optimized as well as all the infrastructure products; the virtualization layer is offering a better way to handle disaster recovery, security, provisioning, and more, and we’re helping companies use less power.
“Virtualization is also valuable for running desktops on a server, and making them accessible remotely. Such an architecture makes it easier for IT departments to secure and manage centrally, and it becomes a workspace that you can access from anywhere, and access from any form factor.”
