Abstract
Introduction
An in-depth analysis of the use of server and desktop virtualization
technologies in the financial sector, looking at which vendors have penetrated
the sector to date and what the prospects are for new entrants. In desktop
virtualization, there will be particular relevance in retail banking, because
Western institutions are moving into Eastern Europe without putting in local
IT support.
Scope of this research
- Server and desktop virtualization technology
- Retail and investment banking, trading floors
Research and analysis highlights
The global financial crisis means that financial institutions around the world
must find ways to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their IT
infrastructure. Thus, ' doing more with less' will become the mantra for good
business practice for the next couple of years, with virtualization a logical
candidate for achieving this aim.
Key reasons to purchase this research
- Gain insight into how virtualization technology is being adopted in the
banking sector
- Understand how virtualization technology itself is evolving
