Virtual Desktop & Application Management

Users can access their virtual desktops and applications across any network and device. By implementing virtual desktops (VDI) you can reduce desktop management TCO up to 40 percent by centralising virtual desktops in the datacentre and simplifying the traditional desktop lifecycle.
Application virtualisation solutions reduce the cost of Windows® application management by up to 50%. Compared to traditional application deployment technology, virtualising applications enables organisations to improve application management by:

• Centralising applications in the data center to reduce costs
• Controlling and encrypting access to data and applications to improve security
• Delivering applications instantly to users anywhere

In use by millions of users worldwide, virtualising applications lets IT manage a single instance of each application in an application hub in the data center. Applications are then delivered via application streaming directly to Windows PC’s for offline application virtualisation, or run on high-powered servers in the data centre for online application virtualisation on any device or operating system.
