Thus Centracon

Consulting Centracon recommends conversion projects at the same time for additional innovations to take advantage of virtualization technologies and new architectural concepts make users more equitable performance profiles Leverkusen, 09.09.2010 – when the company in the near future increasing switch 7 Windows Windows XP on the new operating system, they should take into account also other technologies Centracon in their desktop strategies according to the consultancy. Because in the future would need desktops with very standardized and modular services which according to the individual performance requirements and put together the user and wherever available. Classically are very static, because they were developed on the technological level of the XP operating system”the today’s Windows XP configurations, problematizes the Centracon consultant Marcus Zimmermann and justified: the hardware associated with the operating system, the operating system which is directly related to the applications and the applications, as well as the Operating system in turn are connected to the personal settings. This simple exchange of the operating system without changing the surrounding layers is not possible.” Thus, adjustments to the interfaces to hardware, applications, and personal settings are necessary. Therefore it is not done against Windows 7 with the mere exchange of XP, but it should be considered newly facing the future requirements in the desktop environment”, judges the Centracon consultant.

For this reason, the company should include in their conceptual planning for Windows 7 migration necessarily complementary innovations. It includes: client hypervisor, although this technology is still under development; Virtualization of the desktop (VDI); Terminal Service for desktop sharing; Virtualization of applications to the isolation, streaming etc.; Virtualization settings (profiles and data). Because switching can clearly take more than a year depending on the complexity of the IT infrastructure. but the support for Windows XP will soon only have security updates will contain, Centracon is no longer on the long bench to push the issue of migration and employment with the complementary technologies. There’s less time than you think”, warns Zimmermann. We recommend, in a timely manner to determine the own requirements and potential within the framework of a preliminary study and to develop a structured roadmap.” He considered the approaching date for the XP alone but as a reason for a speedy transition planning.

The consultant refers to the results of a recent study by Centracon, after which is a significantly growing demand for new client concepts. The so far very infrastructure jobs dependent on IT – no longer fit the requirements.” Windows 7 migration offer therefore ideal conditions for the development of future-oriented infrastructures, which a quick safe and cost-efficient provision of applications and workstations on any Enable devices. Many companies will use the migration, perform a strategic transformation of the client landscape by simultaneous focus on virtualization technologies and new architectural concepts”, Zimmermann is expected.
