Key Findings & Highlights:

Unisys considers virtual desktops as a way of providing complex services, expanding form pure desktop services to server-related service and datacenter services.

The company also considers virtual desktop services as complementing its managed desktop service offering and leaning towards BYOD and mobility. See Section 3 Key Offerings.

Unisys has experienced a demand for virtual desktops and BYOD services that is going in several directions, as opposed to adopting one single service offering:

  • BYOD is expanding from pure virtual desktops and is including application virtualization and SaaS, as well as management of mobile phones
  • Demand, around virtual desktops, from cost savings to features, whether IT-specific e.g. security or business needs e.g. a federal agency in the U.S.
