The Future Desktop: What Should it Do and What Should it Look Like?

Presenters: Harry Labana, VP and CTO Citrix, Desktop Division, Atlantis Computing Advisory Board Member, Brian Madden, Independent Industry Analyst & Blogger

Time: Tuesday May 10th at 4:20-5:35PM

Location: Breakout #1

The IT world is changing, but it remains to be seen whether or not the cloud will fully penetrate the corporate desktop. In some ways, moving some or all desktop services to the cloud makes a lot of sense; but, is the reality of something other than a traditional desktop practical in the enterprise? Will corporate constraints "hold back" the desktop, or will corporations eventually embrace new desktop models? 

Don't miss your chance to join in the discussion with two outspoken visionaries about the future of the desktop. Brian and Harry will express their shared thoughts on desktops and what the future desktop should look like, while also voicing their different opinions on just as many counts. This session will dig in to how practical and feasible different desktop models are today and will be in the future, giving you an edge after seeing two industry experts' visions.

Antivirus Strategy and VDI 

Presenter: Vincent Branger

Time: Wednesday, May 11th at 8:40-9:55

Location: Breakout #2

Antivirus in VDI is often overlooked or installed and managed the same way it is for traditional desktops. In truth, antivirus is as important in VDI as ever, but there are some things you can do to manage it more effectively and reduce the impact it has on your virtual systems. In this session, you'll learn:

  • New ways to manage Antivirus in VDI using new products on the market from McAfee and Trend Micro
  • Best practices to ensure the best performance with the lowest impact for both traditional agent-based solutions and newer, hypervisor-based solutions
  • Antivirus with storage optimisation solutions like Atlantis Computing's ILIO and Datacore's SANsymphony
  • The best overall strategies for VDI antivirus moving forward.
