Client virtualization combines the advantages of traditional desktop computing, server-based computing, and server virtualization. It allows organizations to run client machines as virtual machines on servers located in a data center. This provides benefits such as simplified systems management, easier deployment and updates, higher availability, improved security, reduced costs, and better utilization of resources. However, client virtualization also presents challenges for customers in identifying the right technologies and integrating, operating, and maintaining the overall solution. Customers should work with experienced partners who can help evaluate options, design optimized solutions, and provide integration and management services to reduce complexity, time, and risks.
