What is desktop virtualization? |

The problem with traditional desktop deliveryToday, individual desktops are hard-coded combinations of OS, applications, and user settings, and managed one-by-one on an ongoing basis. Many IT organizations we speak to are looking at desktop virtualization to upgrade their entire approach to desktop management. In addition, business users increasingly expect to use any device and work anytime from anywhere. IT executives are looking for a better way to address the varying needs of business users. How does desktop virtualization help?Desktop virtualization replaces this hard-coded approach with a more flexible design in which one moving part doesn’t have to disrupt any of the other moving parts when changes are needed. That means the device, OS, applications, and user settings are all shielded from each other. These components can then be managed independently which eliminates redundant data, workload, and management processes. IT assembles desktops dynamically based on business roles, and delivers these resources in a way that matches the users’ requirements—whether that means hosting them in the datacenter or placing them to their device. |
