Prowess to Host Webinar on Applying Desktop Virtualization Techniques to Windows Upgrades

Prowess®, a leader in IT management solutions, software, and services, today announced its upcoming webinar scheduled for Tuesday, November 1 at 1:00 p.m. EDT titled “Applying Desktop Virtualization Techniques to OS Upgrades.” Prowess CEO, Aaron Suzuki and Intel® Director of Enterprise Co-Marketing, Dinesh Rao, will take a high-level look into to how to use existing tools and techniques to realize the benefits of desktop virtualization without the expense, technical expertise and risk associated with emerging desktop architectures.

Alternative desktop architectures are a hot topic as IT professionals look for new ways to simplify Windows 7 migration projects and hear the promise of desktop virtualization solutions. Virtualization can help deliver improved efficiency around the desktop. However, for most organizations a monolithic desktop virtualization solution does not address evolving business needs, and worse – it can be an affront to productivity. Many IT professionals do not realize that hardware independence and quick provisioning can be achieved on the end point without virtualization.

Attendees will learn:

• Key attributes of a successful desktop virtualization solution
• Where to utilize virtualization to maximize efficiency
• How you can use image layering to simplify desktop management
• How to manage devices intelligently and eliminate driver problems

“There are a lot of misconceptions about desktop virtualization. It transcends virtual machines, it’s about new techniques. We want to provide attendees with strategies to apply techniques from desktop virtualization to their current deployment activities regardless of their interest or timeframe to adopt desktop virtualization solutions,” said Suzuki. “Our webcast will teach participants how to improve their current desktop management practices and gain many benefits of alternative desktop architectures without the cost and complexity.”
