In the world of “virtual desktops” a user’s operating system, apps and files are hosted and managed in the data center. Each user’s individualized desktop configuration is accessed over a wireless or wired network from any device – PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone – simply by logging in with a username and password.
Virtual desktops not only support more mobile work styles and enable impressive productivity gains, they ease the IT management burden in the following ways:
- Rebuilding an infected, bogged-down computer is accomplished by simply calling up and reloading the saved image of a user’s PC. Everything boots up refreshed, including the user’s personalized desktop configuration.
- The use of authorized corporate software is much easier to enforce.
- Software upgrades and patches are centrally controlled. The days of updating one user at a time are over.
- The use of automated backup tools ensures that no PC or user’s data is left behind.
