This
financial analysis tool compares the costs of continuing to purchase desktop
PCs to the costs of replacing them with thin client devices and server based
virtual desktops. An analysis period
of 6 years is used in the model due to the extended asset life of thin
clients vs. traditional desktops. The
model assumes that the client intends to replace desktops with thin clients
and does not intend to extend the life of the desktops by using
virtualization.
|
|
|
| |
The
model assumes replacement of desktop PCs based on a user defined annual
schedule. This replacement schedule is
used to evaluate the costs of continuing with full power desktops and the
costs of replacing existing desktops with Thin Clients and server based
desktop virtualization. VMware View
is used as basis for this tool.
Software costs are based on VMware list prices.

Task
workers and administrative workers perform repetitive tasks within a small
set of applications, usually at a stationary computer. The applications are
usually not as CPU- and memory-intensive as those used by knowledge workers.
Task workers who work specific shifts might all log in to their virtual
desktop at the same time. Task workers include call center analysts, retail
employees, warehouse workers, and so on.
