OS Migration via Desktop Virtualization for all Operating System Environments

Decouple hardware, applications and operating systems to eliminate compatibility issues during OS migrations and upgrades. Get the benefits of newer platforms without paying heavy support costs to test and troubleshoot integration issues. Run a single image of a new operating system across a variety of hardware types. Encapsulate older applications and even run multiple versions of the same application side by side.

Simplify OS Migrations to Lower Costs and Minimize Downtime.

VMware desktop virtualization solutions eliminate many of the problems typically encountered during OS migrations, such as high costs, application conflicts and lack of hardware support. With features like application isolation and encapsulation, VMware software improves datacenter efficiency and security during OS migrations, reduces the cost and complexity of migration, and provides a better user experience.

Migrate with Ease

With VMware View (formerly VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)), the desktop resides in the datacenter, and each end user has an individual image of that virtual desktop on his machine. The applications are isolated from the OS, so mission-critical applications are unaffected during OS upgrades and migrations. This maximizes worker productivity and dramatically reduces support and maintenance overhead.

VMware virtual desktop solutions let you:

Migrate existing applications from the old OS to the new OS by simply copying the application files.
Run applications side by side to increase productivity.
Run 32-bit applications on your 64-bit OS without a 64-bit installer.

Cut Costs and Complexity

Deploying one image across several endpoints speeds deployment and eliminates hardware costs and compatibility issues. As a result, IT staff can complete a company-wide OS migration quickly and easily, without the complexity of hardware and application integration or repair.

Using VMware desktop virtualization, you will:

Avoid integration issues by running a single image of the new OS across your virtual environment on a variety of hardware types.
Maintain user productivity by enabling OS migration across many systems without rebooting.
Reduce management costs and power consumption by encapsulating older systems and running them in a more efficient, server-based environment.
Improve troubleshooting using Record/Replay technology.

Access Your Desktop Anywhere, Anytime

Enhance worker mobility while protecting access to valuable corporate assets. With VMware, remote workers can take their entire desktop with them on a USB stick that locks applications. In this way, they can take all the information and applications they need anywhere—securely— and access key applications wherever they are, without additional hardware requirements.
