Feb 19, 2009 in Information Technology

This white paper discusses Desktop Virtualization and the impact on desktop management challenges.
This white paper discusses the following:

The challenges for desktop management in a pre-Desktop Virtualization world
How these challenges are addressed by Desktop Virtualization
Issues that are not well addressed by Desktop Virtualization
Their view of how to best address these remaining issues

While Desktop Virtualization puts the desktop into the data center, it is not a panacea for desktop delivery. Desktop Virtualization works best as part of a comprehensive Desktop Delivery approach which focuses on the most efficient way to get applications to the end user and meet business and IT needs, not just a PC equivalent. Desktop Delivery proposes the dynamic assembly of a ‘new and pristine’ high performing desktop with personalized set of applications and settings every time a user logs on.
