The desktop is evolving with the increase in mobile devices and user expectations of accessing data anytime from anywhere. IT is challenged to support this new environment while maintaining security and control. With a virtual infrastructure in place, organizations can deliver secure virtual desktops from the data center and provide users with personalized, high-performance access to their data and applications.

Application and desktop virtualization essentially decouples the operating system and the applications from the PC allowing them to run in a secure virtualized data center. In the event of a security breach, malware or natural disaster, virtual machines can be restored to a clean state.

Virtual desktops support a mobile environment with users able to access from anywhere from many devices. Users can access data and applications from the office, home, or other location with internet access. Students can use mobile devices during lessons or for state testing.
