Wyse Supports Consumerisation of IT and “Bring Your Own Device” Initiatives at London Virtualisation User Group

LONDON, UK – May 6, 2011 - Wyse Technology, the global leader in cloud client computing, today announced its participation in the Virtualisation User Group event, “Virtualisation to Consumerisation.” The event, which is organised by Intercept IT, takes place on the 9th May at Chelsea Football Club, London.

The half day event explores how CIOs can take advantage of the “bring your own device” (BYOD) concept. Giving end users the freedom to connect to IT resources via any device requires a major redesign of IT infrastructures and a need to fully embrace virtualisation. The Wyse cloud software portfolio and desktop virtualisation break the 1:1 relationship between IT user and client hardware, allowing CIOs to build flexibility into both their IT infrastructure and business processes.

WHAT: Virtualisation User Group

TOPIC: Virtualisation to Consumerisation – How to leverage virtualisation technology to deliver IT consumerisation
