Migrating to Windows 11 is a critical step for businesses, but it raises questions. The main issue facing businesses when migrating to Windows 11 is hardware compatibility.
Windows 11 has strict requirements, including the presence of a TPM module and other technical prerequisites that exclude many existing equipment. Wisper 360 provides an innovative solution to overcome these challenges. In this article, Bastien Collas, Project Manager at Wisper with 11 years of expertise in this technology, shares his analysis of the issues and the answers offered by Wisper 360.
"Many current IT parks are not compatible, which complicates the migration. Windows 11 imposes hardware requirements, such as a TPM module, which many computers lack.”
This problem generates significant costs, as companies must consider a replacement of their IT equipment.
Thanks to its virtualization technology, Wisper 360 overcomes this limitation by enabling features like the TPM even on non-natively compatible devices.
"With Wisper 360, a virtualization layer is used that can enable the TPM even on non-compatible hardware. This extends the life of equipment while ensuring compatibility with Windows 11.”
This mechanism offers an economic and sustainable alternative, allowing companies to maximize their technological investments.
Upgrading to Windows 11 is often considered a complex and invasive process. Data backup, system re-installation and reconfiguration of each workstation are time consuming and disruptive to users.
Bastien describes this reality:
"Migrating from Windows 10 to 11 involves taking the workstation, backing up the data, reinstalling a new system and then reconfiguring everything. This process is time consuming and costly.""
This traditional method overloads IT teams and slows down employee operations.
With Wisper 360, the process is simplified and centralized. The IT administrator prepares a Master virtual machine incorporating Windows 11 and all necessary configurations. Once validated, it is deployed on all machines with a few clicks.
“Users restart their computer, and the new version is available without interruption or wait.”
This centralized management reduces downtime and frees IT teams for more value-added tasks.
The centralization of master management makes it possible to simplify updates that could not be deployed on all workstations. The update is deployed on the master and then deployed to the stations. The security interest is the read-only mode, it eliminates the risk of virus spread. In the event of an attack, a restart is all it takes to clean up the system.”
By centralizing environments on a secure master and using a read-only mode, Wisper 360 considerably limits these risks.
This approach ensures business continuity while minimizing losses from security incidents.
Between hardware replacement, technical intervention costs and employee downtime, migrating to Windows 11 can quickly become a financial burden.
Wisper 360 significantly reduces these costs. On the one hand, virtualization allows to extend the life of existing equipment, thus avoiding expensive replacements. On the other hand, technical interventions are minimized through centralized management. Bastien shares an example:
“Technicians don’t need to travel for simple tasks like relocation because everything can be done remotely.”
In addition, some companies use the action planning functionality to reduce their energy expenditures.
“Some schools program automatic shutdowns of the stations at night via Wisper 360, saving on electricity bills.”
Finally, companies are increasingly seeking to align their technology choices with their corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. However, traditional IT migrations are often synonymous with technological waste and high ecological footprint. Bastien notes:
By extending the life of equipment through virtualization, Wisper 360 contributes to a more sustainable IT.
“We contribute to companies’ CSR efforts by reducing technical travel, extending equipment life and scheduling energy-saving shutdowns.”
This approach helps companies reduce their environmental impact while optimizing their budgets.
With Wisper 360, businesses find a complete solution to address the technical, financial and environmental challenges of migrating to Windows 11. This hybrid-cloud technology turns a constraint into an opportunity, combining efficiency, security and sustainability.
