Optimized Desktop
Accelerate IT and Business Success
The pressure is on. As technical and business managers, now more than ever you need IT to be manageable so that you can reduce costs, increase productivity, and manage risk. On top of that, the IT landscape is changing. Workers are more mobile, often working away from their corporate headquarters, and need flexible and reliable access to the corporate network and applications. A Windows Optimized Desktop solution at the core is about the application of technologies and best practices to help resolve the natural tension between IT goals such as more control, more efficient management, and better security; and worker goals such as more flexibility and speed to do their jobs well.
Learn how the Windows Optimized Desktop with Windows 7 can help you:
- Reduce costs by streamlining PC management
- Make people productive anywhere
- Manage risk through enhanced security and control

Reduce costs by streamlining PC management
How can you better meet the pressures of lowering costs while making IT more efficient? How can you reduce your carbon footprint and save on energy bills? To achieve better manageability, the Windows Optimized Desktop helps you determine where hardware and software can be extended and managed more simply. Technologies like the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack and System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 are designed to help you create a more manageable IT that can ultimately reduce costs and increase IT efficiency.
Make people productive anywhere
While you keep your eye on the budget, you must also keep productivity up throughout the organization. The productivity technologies of the Windows Optimized Desktop were created to help you ensure anytime, anywhere access to network resources, keep the network running smoothly through deployments and upgrades, and provide familiar user experiences that keep your workers productive. Features within Windows 7 Enterprise like DirectAccess provide fast, constant connectivity from any location. BranchCache also allows workers to download files and access applications quickly.
Manage risks through enhanced security and control
As important as manageability and productivity are to your successful IT department, they're not enough. Simply put, the desktop environment must also be secure. It must protect critical business information from theft or misuse. And it must operate transparently to comply with government regulations while preventing competitors from obtaining access to intellectual property. You need multiple layers of protection to help address the increasing risk and expense associated with information security and regulatory compliance.
