Welcome to the brand-new Matrix42 blog!  We’re looking forward to bringing you the insights of our experienced and enthusiastic management team as we explore various topics in the world of workplace management.

 Today we’re very excited to kick off the blog with some interesting results of a desktop virtualization survey we launched at Citrix Synergy San Francisco, which took place on May 25-27, 2011.  It was another great Citrix event, and a venue for a number of Citrix and partner news announcements, including our own news that we’ve released several new features for managing virtual and physical environments.

We asked enterprise IT professionals at Citrix Synergy for their opinions on the state of desktop virtualization.  The findings in a nutshell?  Desktop virtualization, at long last, is really taking off in 2011. Our survey found that the majority of organizations are either in process of deploying virtual desktops or planning to start deploying them within the next six months, and an additional eight percent said they have already finished their deployment.
