Unisys Consolidated Desktop Solution

Unisys Consolidated Desktop Solution (CDS) helps you reduce total cost of ownership by 30 percent or more over the traditional desktop model.

How? By addressing the costs associated with the complexities of hardware and software configurations, end-user profiles, growing application adoption, and enterprise security.

This fresh approach to the traditional PC experience provides a suite of technology specifically designed to replicate the desktop environment in your data center – by hosting all activities on centralized servers and storage systems without any noticeable difference in the PC experience to end users.

Thin-client devices on the network connect with virtualization servers in the data center to access desktops tailored to end users’ specific needs. These virtual desktop images offer the familiar look-and-feel of traditional desktop PCs, while helping IT improve control over functionality, data backup, and security.

Why Unisys for thin client deployments?

We bring more than 40 years of industry know-how, including 15 years of managed desktop expertise and 8 years of infrastructure consolidation experience, to every CDS deployment. With a host of industry-proven best practices built into everything we do, you can be sure that your virtualization initiative is complemented by best-in-class hardware, software, services, and knowledge.

All of this combines to offer you an alternative desktop solution that is:

Secure: You can lock down the desktop to a degree you deem appropriate – by user profile or specific user – to ensure security across the enterprise.

Simple: You’ll implement a solution stack from a single vendor that features powerful centralized management tools.

Cost-effective: You’ll see savings from the desktop to the data center, as you extend the lifespan of your investment.
