The company is also using a private cloud computing strategy for its virtual desktop offerings. This means that each client service is customized but based on standard service subcomponents.
For its hosted VDI desktop offering, Capgemini is using two datacenters to address the U.K. and U.S. markets: its Swindon "Merlin" datacenter (close to London) and a North Virginia-based datacenter.
