Exploring Desktop Virtualization for Education and BFSI Sectors

The education and BFSI sectors in India are embracing desktop virtualization to modernize their operations and reduce costs. In the latest episode of The Edge & Beyond podcast, Michelle Dawn Mooney hosts a discussion with key figures from Intel and INP, focusing on how their partnership is reshaping computing for these sectors through the Intelligent Desktop Virtualization (IDV) initiative.

Ashish Agarwal of Intel explains the vision, stating, “IDV addresses the limitations of traditional thin clients, offering scalable and robust solutions tailored for the evolving demands of modern ICT labs and banking environments.” Manoj Dubey of INP adds, “With Intel’s technology, we’re developing cost-effective, high-performance solutions that transform the user experience, especially in remote and underserved areas.”

The episode highlights the importance of reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while leveraging AI and Intel’s 12th Gen processors to deliver immersive, multimedia-rich experiences. The guests also discuss future developments, including expanded use cases beyond education and BFSI.
