With the expansion in global IT infrastructure and computational industry, companies were seriously struggling for cost effective and affordable computational solutions and PC infrastructure. Desktop virtualization technology filled the gap and now it could be seen anywhere on the globe. It allows end users to share the desktop and applications without being tied down to a specific hardware device either local or remote terminals. Companies and institutions are adopting it as a low-cost alternative of PC Infrastructure because it also allows IT departments to reduce management and support costs, along with capital expenses for desktop hardware. In this paper we will describe the desktop virtualization and its different model. After the complete understanding of desktop virtualization we shall discuss benefits and the challenges to adopt the desktop virtualization. Punjab IT labs project and N computing (a cutting edge technology partner) will be the part of this paper as a case study for the implementation of the desktop virtualization.

Now day's researchers are trying to introduce such mechanisms that can hold and provide such facility in disaster conditions. Cloud computing is self-heal, anti-fragile and resilient platform that controls and handles the problems of data storage during disasters. In this paper we shall explain how cloud stores and retrieves data in minimum possible time along with the option of security, fault tolerance and scalability during disasters. Cloud provides different services. Among of them Block Storage is an essential component of cloud that is used for the storage of data used by Virtual Machines VMs. These machines are further used to provide the services instead of being physical machines thus by lowering infrastructural and operational costs for any organization and in terms of redundancy, backup and fault tolerance. Block storage is efficiently used in enterprise clouds to manage large scale virtual machines and their storage patterns during disasters. In this paper, we are using block storage mechanism to setup our virtual machines in disasters, keep backup of our preinstalled servers, data stored in big arrays of disks and other critical data that might be in the form of images or multimedia content.
