Desktop Virtualization Taking Off, but Physical Desktops not going Away

A Matrix42 Special Report from Citrix Synergy 2011

Executive Summary

Research conducted by Matrix42 at the 2011 Citrix Synergy San Francisco conference shows that desktop virtualization is finally being adopted by the mainstream market, with 59% of companies either in process or planning to deploy within the next six months. Desktop virtualization initiatives are driven by a number of perceived benefits, but the biggest is reduced cost of management and support.

While many companies are adopting desktop virtualization, few are going completely virtual in the near-term. Only 4% expect to go completely virtual and another 21% expect a relatively short transition period while they move to a virtual desktop infrastructure. The rest expect a long, or even indefinite, period where they will support both physical and virtual desktops.
