Howard Ting, vice president Marketing, Nutanix: “Virtualization in the datacenter has suffered from overbearing complexity due to traditional network-based storage such as SAN/NAS that limit scalability and performance while driving up cost. Nutanix has delivered a next-generation converged storage and compute platform to allow for optimal scalability and simplicity while dramatically lowering both capex and opex. The SysTrack MarketPlace report delivers powerful data analysis, which ensures the Nutanix infrastructure is right-sized for every organization’s virtualization initiatives and helps our mutual customers achieve optimal IT efficiency and ROI.”
Tom Rose, chief marketing officer, Unidesk: “The management of applications and Windows® images is a big problem in VDI projects with user and desktop diversity. With the MarketPlace for Unidesk report, IT managers can identify applications that are ill-suited for application virtualization and are better delivered by Unidesk desktop layering software. SysTrack highlights Unidesk’s cost-saving benefits of using one clean gold image for all desktops, packaging heavily and lightly used apps as interoperable layers, and providing storage-efficient persistent desktops that enable users to install and manage one-off apps on their own.”
