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.

The desktop manager’s role has changed dramatically over the last few years.

These skills are still required, but desktop managers are now held accountable for security metrics as well.
