Maximum performance with minimal environmental impact.
In recent years, companies have been increasingly challenged to reduce their carbon footprint, in particular within IT infrastructures, where a significant amount of energy and materials are expended. Adoption of virtual desktop infrastructures seemed, in theory, to initially address these green initiatives. However, in implementation, most VDI vendors offer solutions that actually result in a larger carbon footprint due to a considerable increase in network hardware and energy usage. The multiple server racks, routers and other hardware that make up these overly complex VDIs, also increase cooling demands and server room floorspace—all translating into greater capital and operating expenditure.
V3’s simplified architecture offers an ideal green solution with an appliance that not only provides superior performance, but unprecedented system efficiency as well. Through our all-in-one architecture, server equipment, energy usage and cooling requirements are all vastly reduced with the net effect being an environmentally responsible solution that consumes 90% percent less energy than other VDI vendors. Reduced hardware and energy requirements further translate into lower capital and operating expenditures making V3 virtual desktops the most efficient and cost effective virtual desktop solution on the market today.
The Benefits of Green Efficiency.
Minimize Energy Usage The V3 appliance is designed to provide maximum performance output while only requiring a minimal amount of energy. This is accomplished by combining V3 Optimized Technologies™ with highly efficient solid state hardware which all resides within a single 1U or 2U appliance, essentially, accomplishing what typically requires multiple server racks in just one appliance. The V3 Appliance is capable of running 50 active desktops simultaneously while consuming less than 300 watts of power, constituting approximately 90% less energy when compared to other VDI vendors. When deploying V3 virtual desktops to thin clients, energy usage is further decreased to an average of only 10 watts per desktop versus the 250 watts typically required by a traditional local desktop.
Reduce Materials and Waste With the ability to support 50 – 10,000+ virtual desktops and requiring minimal server rack space, V3 appliances are unmatched in their capacity to reduce a company’s carbon footprint while still providing high end-user performance. Competitors’ multiple server racks and router requirements result in hundreds of pounds of toxic IT waste compared to V3’s single server appliance, The V3 solution makes it possible to combine maximum virtual hosting power with minimal environmental impact.
Lower both CapEx and OpEx
VDI deployments require companies to weigh CapEx against purported longer term OpEx. V3 is unique in its ability to provide both lower CapEx and OpEx by costing far less for the initial deployment, as well as offering lower operational expenses in the form of decreased energy usage and minimal IT management. With an average installed cost of $500 per desktop and lower overall OpEx, Total Cost of Ownership is approximately $800 per desktop—a significant savings margin by vendor comparison. These lower expenditures make V3 the most cost effective VDI solution available today.
