Geometric implements virtual desktop to cut operational costs

Geometric has implemented a large scale desktop virtualization implementation based on the Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI) architecture with Cisco, NetApp and Citrix technologies. The deployment will allow Geometric employees to access their server-hosted virtual desktop from anywhere and from a broad range of devices, with the cloud infrastructure also helping to drive business productivity and reduced operating costs. 

Prashanta Ghoshal, Director, IT Solutions &Services, Geometric said, "We evaluated several solutions before we chose to adopt the VXI architecture from Cisco, NetApp, and Citrix to solve our virtualization needs. This solution allows our employees to work from anywhere, at any time, using any device of their choice, without affecting security or performance; thereby providing flexibility to our employees and enabling continuous support for our customers. Moreover, it also reduces the time and effort needed for provisioning and maintenance of computing resources". 

This implementation of virtual desktop will enable Geometric employees to access their server-hosted virtual desktop from anywhere and from a broad range of devices, with the cloud infrastructure also helping to drive business productivity and reduced operating costs.The cost reduction of as much as $ 27,000 is anticipated with the deployment of 600 desktops. The company revealed that it had already achieved significant benefits by an initial deployment of 250 desktops.
