eliver Secure Desktops and Apps to Any Device, Anywhere

Desktop and app virtualization is a software technology that publishes end user desktops and
applications in a datacenter that is on-premises or in the cloud and renders it on endpoint
devices. Enable end users to securely access corporate resources and work anytime,
anywhere, on any device. A streamlined, modern approach to desktop virtualization allows
your organization to deliver, protect and manage desktops and apps while containing costs.

Why Virtualize Desktops and Applications?

 Improve Security
Data and apps never leave the datacenter, eliminating leakage at the endpoint.

Ensure Compliance
Granular controls help enforce compliance in regulated industries.

Simplify Management
Centralize, simplify, and speed management and delivery with a modern approach, avoiding
traditional PC management tools.

Increase Productivity
Deliver Windows, legacy and business critical apps to any device, with any operating system,
to any location.

Boost the Bottom Line

 Save on costs by leveraging low-cost endpoints and pooling compute, graphics and storage
resources in the data center to increase utilization.
