Simplified User Management

Control Access to Sensitive Data and Intellectual Property

Run complete desktop environments, including the operating system, applications, data and configurations, on machines controlled in your data center—not on machines you don’t own or laptops that can be stolen. VDI also lets you gain central control over offsite desktop users’ access rights to the network and more easily maintain (update/patch) their systems.

Provide Individual Isolated Desktops

VMware desktop virtualization technology goes a step further, letting you fully isolate each user’s virtual desktop from another virtual desktop. You reduce risk of exposing sensitive data when outsourcing vendors use the same workers or systems to service competitive clients. And you can shut off network access for an employee who has left the facility with the click of a button.

Run Off-the-Shelf, Legacy or Custom Applications with No Modifications

Applications that need to be rewritten or simply don’t run in other server-based computing environments can be run out-of-the-box with VDI. That’s because there’s no change to the applications running in a virtual environment. Desktops are simply being accessed from inside a virtual machine over a remote protocol connection.

Cut Desktop Deployment Time Down to Minutes Instead of Days

Respond more quickly to business demands—deploy a new call center or support new users from an acquisition—by creating desktop templates that can be easily leveraged across hundreds or thousands of users.

Deliver Full Virtual PC Experiences to End Users

Provide a full PC experience without compromising security or hampering users’ flexibility. VDI simply involves running a normal desktop over a remote connection.
