Since its release in 09, Microsoft Windows 7 has been upgrading the office desirable because of its ability to improve performance, security and manageability. And with desktop virtualization technology to mature, it may be wise for organizations to combine the two projects. 
The idea of having to "nuke and pave", erasing XP installations and from scratch with a clean installation of Windows 7 has many IT managers are wary of the process. With the window (literally) the rapid closure of the XP media in 2014, more and more companies are looking to desktop virtualization as a better way forward. And this combination of technologies is becoming a "perfect storm" that can benefit business users, IT and the bottom line.
The companies that want to take advantage of this storm are on track on their migration path to Windows 7 with the help of solutions such as Citrix XenDesktop. By using XenDesktop to virtualize applications and desktops, and deliver them to users on request, you can enable a fast, smooth Windows 7 deployment. It also allows you to leverage existing investments in desktop infrastructure and ensuring that all user data, settings and critical information is managed and stored in real time. Especially if the application compatibility testing shows the critical line of business applications are not good candidates for Windows 7 migration, XenDesktop can help provide the application to end users without interruption.
Successful virtualization workstation must be done properly and must be flexible enough to meet the needs of your user community, and this process requires:
- a good analysis of the current environment focusing on segmentation of users, application inventory and endpoint topology
- a design from start to finish before the actual migration can begin so that users are migrated to the virtualized environment once
- a gradual migration approach moves settings and user application data with the smallest impact on users as possible
prediction is that when the storm finally hits, it will be those organizations that have fully prepared for Windows 7 with a thorough impact assessment, design and implementation practices will be best placed to benefit from the new technology. And Citrix helps each of these steps :. Assessment by the platform management applications Citrix AppDNA, design education and consultation and implementation with the help of Citrix Ready Partners
We, helping businesses by Citrix have been making a successful transition to a virtual environment of Windows 7 desktop. And in the coming weeks, I will share these best migration practices. For now, check out this cool video on how you can accelerate the Windows 7 migration with desktop virtualization.
