> Two major Indian sectors are discovering how virtualized computing infrastructure can slash operational expenses while boosting institutional performance

## Key points

- Intel and INP's IDV initiative addresses limitations of traditional thin clients with scalable, high-performance alternatives for education and banking sectors.
- The solution leverages Intel's 12th Gen processors and AI to reduce Total Cost of Ownership while enabling immersive, multimedia-rich experiences.
- The partnership prioritizes remote and underserved areas in India, with future use case expansion planned beyond education and BFSI.

Block Field

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."
