South San Francisco, Calif., June 1, 2009 – Kovarus, Inc., a premier technology consulting firm specializing in data center design, implementation, and optimization, today announced that Alex Weeks, its Sr. Solution Architect, will shut down his Lenovo T500 and only operate a Wyse X90 Thin Client laptop from June 1 – 30.

With Gartner predicting that roughly 15% of the current professional desktop PCs will migrate to virtual desktops by 2014, there will be a significant push from vendors to get this technology into user’s hands. Weeks’ goal through the 30 day challenge is to put this emerging technology to the test in a real-life environment.

“A lot of people are talking about Virtual Desktop these days but there is still a bit of mystery around them,” said Weeks. “Everyone has questions about its ROI and manageability, how it will affect mobile users, and the challenges of a successful implementation. When my customers ask me these questions I want to have answers for them, and none better than answers based on my own experience.”
