Breakout Session(s)
It’s Time for an Alternative Desktop Architecture - The Pieces are (almost) in Place
Wyse’s Chief Strategy Officer, Jeff McNaught is the co-inventor of the thin client, which beat Larry Ellison’s Network Computer and Sun’s JavaStation to become the model for all thin clients sold today. Jeff will discuss the perfect storm of Cloud Computing, Client Virtualization and Green IT, and talk about what users types can benefit from the technology, key questions to ask to determine if virtualization or cloud computing is right for your environment, which datacenter/cloud model makes the most sense today (and which does not) and how to maximize the benefits of Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware architectures. Jeff will provide an update on how the “six things that will kill virtualization” are being addressed.
