Introduction

Application and desktop virtualization technology enables remote

access to desktop applications over the Internet. A cloud computing service provider can deliver an application virtualization solution at a lower cost while offering more sophisticated functionality, enhanced performance and increased reliability.

Application Access over the Internet

User experience:With application virtualization, students now

have an option of accessing applications remotely over the Internet.

Application Licensing:Today, most software applications are

licensed on a per user or per device model. With application virtualization, there is a need to change licensing agreements to a concurrent user-based pricing model.

Implementation Options

case based on information collected to represent the most typical inhouse implementation experience. System integration: The traditional way of deploying application and desktop virtualization solution is to execute an inhouse system integration project. Cloud computing: Cloud computing delivers all the benefits of desktop and application virtualization & helps further reduce the cost.

System Integration
Project plan: This section describes the project plan for

implementing the Application access over the Internet solution In-house. Typically these implementations have two tracks of activities and are done in a phased manner:

Total cost of ownership: The main cost items

associated with application virtualization are computer administration, hardware and software costs and electric power.
Investments: The investment required to create an

application virtualization solution. This includes two main cost items: Hardware and software Consulting and FTE Cost

Cloud Computing Cont.

Total cost

of ownership: The main reduction in operational costs comes from the fact that a cloud solution doesnt require new implementation each time a new customer is added. The technology implementation is done once in a scalable, multi-tenant architecture and supports additional customers without any substantial changes.

Investments: With a cloud computing service model, the

required investment will be very minimal. There is no infrastructure investment required. There will be some expenses in program management and driving user education, yet, in most cases, they can be done by leveraging existing staff or with support from the cloud services provider.
