Virtual Desktop and Application Delivery

Hosted and Local VDI, Terminal Server and Application Virtualization

Not all employees have the same desktop and application requirements, so no single virtual desktop technology (for example VDI) will work for all users. vWorkspace enables you to deploy a blended model. Pair the appropriate technologies to users based on their unique needs. Keep the average cost per virtual desktop to a minimum without sacrificing user experience. Using vWorkspace, you can mix hosted virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), offline/local VDI, Terminal Server/RD Session Host (TS/RDSH), application virtualization, and blade PCs – and manage them from a single console. Need help determining which virtual desktop technologies are best for your users? Try our Virtual Desktop Assessment ToolIt’s FREE and it’s the critical first step in successful virtual desktop deployments.
