Today, the excitement level reached a fever pitch, as we announced our new “<a href="http://www.virtualcomputer.com/About/press/get-smart-desktop-virtualization-compare-nxtop-vdi-pclm">Get Smart About Desktop Virtualization</a>” program that will formally kick off at VMworld. The <a href="http://www.virtualcomputer.com/About/press/get-smart-desktop-virtualization-compare-nxtop-vdi-pclm">“Get Smart” program</a> will highlight how a PC management approach that leverages client-side virtualization provides significant cost-saving benefits versus both server-centric virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) models and traditional agent-based PC management approaches. The best part is that when the dust settles, one lucky IT professional will walk away with a cool new car that is….well, smart!</p> <p>The “Get Smart” program will feature a number of activities at VMworld where attendees can learn about NxTop’s unique PC life cycle configuration management capabilities, as well as interact with some of our key partners who help bring it all together. The more you interact with us and our partners, the more chances you will have to win the car. Keep reading the blog and come by and see us at Booth #1940 next week to get all of the details, including some “extra credit” opportunities for all of you star pupils out there.</p> <p>Travel budget blues keeping you away from VMworld this year? There are still plenty of opportunities to get involved. In conjunction with the “Get Smart” program, we have launched <a href="http://orbit.virtualcomputer.com/">a new online community</a> site (which you're on right now!) that includes a very nifty <a href="http://www.virtualcomputer.com/desktop-tco-calculator">total cost of ownership (TCO) calculator</a> (or get started at the top of this page). The tool is highly configurable, so if you don’t like our cost assumptions, simply plug in your own. Think our overall methodology is flawed? Post here on the forums and say what’s on your mind. While you are at it, sign up for one of our <a href="http://www.virtualcomputer.com/webinars">upcoming webinars on “The New Economics of PC Management,”</a> which will provide another chance to see NxTop in action, along with an in-depth review of our TCO methodology. Online forum contributions and webinar attendance will earn VMworld attendees additional chances to win the car and provide those playing along at home with a chance to win.</p> <p>Stay tuned more more contest details as VMworld gets under way. See you in San Francisco! </p>
