Who can benefit

Consider DXC Virtual Desktop and Applications Services for your business if:

  • You are a global enterprise with a large workforce and complex IT infrastructure across hybrid and remote environments, and must fulfill requirements for flexible, scalable, secure and cost-effective computing. DXC helped a manufacturing company implement a digital workplace in which VDA was a major contributor to cutting its annual IT budget in half.   
  • You are working in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare and government that have strict compliance requirements, where data security and privacy enabled by desktop and application virtualization services are critical for avoiding violations and possible fines, or loss of customer trust. With DXC virtualization services, for example, a European bank became the financial industry’s first “PC-free” bank to improve data security and secure access to key corporate applications.
  • You need to manage the challenges of IT for mergers and acquisitions. Using virtualization services, DXC helped a healthcare corporation split from its parent company ​ahead of schedule, effectively ​reducing its tax rate ​from 26% to 23%.
  • You want to promote sustainability by reducing high-volume PC turnover, and the corresponding carbon emissions that result from manufacturing and shipping new devices.
  • You are an IT leader in an educational institution, and have to provide students and faculty with cost-efficient access to educational resources and software from any location.

Commonly asked questions about Virtual Desktop and Applications Services

Our virtual desktop solution is highly scalable, enabling organizations to effortlessly add or reduce resources based on demand. This scalability allows for efficient use of IT resources, optimizing costs through a pay-as-you-go model. Organizations pay only for the resources they use, promoting cost-effectiveness and resource efficiency.

DXC takes a vendor-independent approach, supporting your choice of hardware to ensure that you're not locked into a single vendor. We quickly deploy your thin clients with minimal disruption and configuration. Robust security will be at the core of your thin-client computing environment, including BYOD endpoints. We ensure that your sensitive information will be safe, your IT policies will be adhered to, and your compliance requirements met. We do it all while providing a flexible user experience for your employees.  

Companies tend to hesitate to adopt VDA because of cost and complexity. DXC makes it affordable and simple by managing your investments in infrastructure, including minimizing cloud consumption. We have decades of experience in helping customers leverage the technology, and certified and dedicated VDI engineers. DXC is Citrix' largest partner, as well as one of the top two VDI vendors in the world — so you can be assured of best-in-class design and performance in a low-cost, user-friendly environment.      

DXC supports all key facets of the virtual desktop sustainability model:   

  • Users access centralized servers from thin clients that are lightweight and consume less power than traditional desktop computers. These servers can handle the compute-intensive tasks of many virtual desktops, leading to more efficient use of computing resources.
  • Centralized servers in modern data centers use advanced cooling and energy management technologies that are more efficient than the cooling systems required for individual desktop computers.  
  • Following traditional 3- to 4-year PC refresh cycles ups the number of PCs that companies purchase in relatively short time frames. In a virtual desktop infrastructure, device life is significantly extended, which helps to minimize the carbon footprint produced by manufacturing and shipping new PCs. Also, extending device life minimizes e-waste.
