Lanamark Desktop Analysis Pack

• Identify candidate desktops for virtualization
• Distinguish laptops from desktops to identify mobile users
• Determine associations between workstations and external devices such as monitors, printers and scanners
• Recognize software applications installed versus ones actually used to
• Determine which applications should be made available to end users
• Reduce software licensing costs and lower the risk of non-compliance
From now on, Lanamark is going to offer IT infrastructure analysis and design solutions for both desktops and servers. This is a departure from products such as ones listed below which only focus on capacity planning for servers:
• CiRBA Data Center Intelligence
• Novell PlateSpin Recon
• VMware Capacity Planner
Also, the Desktop Analysis Pack can be used in conjunction with the Server Virtualization Design Module (SVDM) to design virtual desktop infrastructure solutions across leading virtualization and server hardware platforms. Lanamark has also added thin client devices from leading vendors such as Wyse to our repository so that they can be included in the end-to-end solutions designed with the SVDM.
