6 The path to desktop optimization 5 best practices to optimize desktop infrastructure Basic Standardized Rationalized Dynamic 5 - Centrally manage PCs* 4 - Virtualize applications* 3 - Automate software distribution* 2 - Implement comprehensive security and compliance* 1 Standardize PCs & minimize images *Assumes an identity -and access-management solution like Microsoft s Active Directory has been implemented

7 4 - Virtualize applications Challenge Application compatibility conflict testing and management is too costly for the breadth of non-core applications Solution Transform applications into centrally managed services available when and where needed Impact Applications delivered on-demand or login, not bound to specific computers Significantly reduces testing for application compatibility Enabling products Key features SoftGrid packages applications for delivery via network as a streamed service No source code modifications are necessary Delivers per user, per application incidence Control virtual application distribution through the unified System Center Configuration Manager console

8 4 - Virtualize applications Evidence Case Study Case Study SoftGrid let us quickly turn our entire application environment into on-demand services. This not only saves us significant costs, it also makes us more agile and greatly accelerates our ability to get applications to end users the moment they need them. Andy Gerringer Senior Network Administrator, Alamance SoftGrid ended application conflicts and regression testing. Typical conflicts with registry keys, DLLs, etc., no longer occur, which means even multiple versions of the same application can run on the same device at the same time. Because there is no chance that applications will conflict, the need to perform lengthy regression testing is eliminated as well, leading to a significant advantage in time and resources Russell Investment Group
