Today, the industry is decades into virtualisation’s conquering of the datacenter and at least a decade into the hybrid cloud era. Enterprises can also affordably leverage flash storage and new datacenter architectural options to transform and improve the methods by which end-users consume enterprise resources.

In this book you’ll learn about the history of end-user computing. You’ll discover that, although the key outcome desired from end-user computing environments has stayed consistent since the 1950s, all of the technology that underpins such environments has changed.

You’ll discover the methods by which you can deploy application and workload services to your employees and develop a budget to make sure that you don’t spend more than you need.
