How you wished you could
centrally manage all your desktops and laptops, migrate their OS, do break fix
operations and enable disaster recovery without going for a complex VDI
solution! This is now possible with
VMWare Mirage.
Mirage offers a unique solution
that combines centralized management for IT and local execution for end
users. And although it is from VMWare no
hypervisors or formatting required. It installs directly into Windows.
When Mirage is installed in
Windows, it creates a complete virtual copy of that end point in the Data
Centre and keeps it synchronized. Even
if the user goes offline which can happen in case of a laptop, Mirage does the synchronization
when the user comes back online. And it
works both ways! Not only the changes at
the end point get uploaded in the Data centre but it also included changes from
the IT team (like migration, patch or application update etc) getting updated
on the end point.
This is especially helpful in
case of a OS migration. A single engineer can handle multiple OS migrations
sitting at his place in the data centre!
Disaster recovery of desktops is
also considerably easy. Mirage keeps a
backup of the complete image of the desktop, including personalization and not
only data files. So in case of a
hardware failure or a complete replacement, the user desktop/laptop with all
its earlier settings can be completely restored in minutes.
And Mirage works over WAN
too! It leverages deduplication both in
storage and during network transfers making it easy to manage remote
desktops/laptops in faraway offices where no IT team is present.
