Abstract
A VMware View Virtual Desktop solution can provide significant
cost savings and IT manageability improvements by consolidating
a vast number of supported end points onto a centralized service
providing platform.
According to Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) primary research,
71% of organizations that have implemented desktop virtualization have
seen real, measurable costs savings with roughly a 60% reduction in
hardware, software, and administration costs. When selecting a VMware
View solution, organizations must understand the total infrastructure costs
to make the right investment decision.
This session will cover the infrastructure costs and the tangible business
benefits of the VMware View Desktop Virtualization solution, and help you
understand how you can lower your total cost of ownership by up to 50%.

Why desktop virtualization?
It improves the efficiency
of clinical workflows.
Quantify your vision:
“Enable fast roaming access to a user’s active back end session in 10 seconds or less.”
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the
world; and that is an idea whose time has come.
Isaac Newton
This will impact the IT budget, but it will save money for your hospital

• Reconnect to active desktop in 10 seconds or less
• To a FULL Windows desktop
• Access to ALL opened applications simultaneously
The most dangerous kind of waste is
the waste we do not recognize.

• Ask why transform before you try to figure out how it transforms.
• Transformative success will only come if you take the time to prepare.
• The will to transform will succeed only if you will believe in the benefits.
This is a transforming technology
You can't do today's job with yesterday's
methods and be in business tomorrow.
– Nelson Jackson
Thinking Differently about VMware View
39
Plan the Next Steps
Enable your vision for the whole organization
Must have the vision of a full desktop replacement
Must ID the key champion stakeholders
Implement a tightly integrated solution
Must perform a Proof Of Concept
Pilots are very necessary, but have a plan to enable the vision

Time waste differs from material waste in that there can
be no salvage. The easiest of all wastes and the hardest
to correct is the waste of time, because wasted time
does not litter the floor like wasted material.
Henry Ford
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Forward success will always be followed by maddening setbacks,
often with the irresistible urge to go back to what is perceived as “safe”,
potentially sacrificing vision and a differentiating future for status quo.
