Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Case Study Computing Models

 This paper presents a research study to evaluate six computing models using Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) framework.

The six computing models studied are:
1) Thin Client Server Side Computing Model
2) Managed Rich Desktop Computing Model
3) Virtual Hosted Desktop Computing Model
4) Managed OS Streaming Computing Model
5) Blade PC Desktop Computing Model
6) Managed Application Streaming Computing Model

Good discussion on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) framework and the validity of its use.
