Sun Virtual Desktop Access Kit for VMware Sun Desktop Virtualization Solution

Overview As virtualization technology, which improves flexibility and mobility both for users and for IT organizations, has made its way into desktop architectures, there has been an increasing need for corresponding software tools and management capabilities. A properly designed desktop virtualization solution should allow users to access their desktop environments from an assortment of devices, such as PCs, thin clients, and compatible web browsers. The Sun Desktop Virtualization solution consolidates desktop operating system instances into the data center, using remote display protocols on a wide array of devices and network access methods to present them to users. Secure hosting and management of virtual desktop instances within the data center make it easier to offer remote user access that is both local and secure.
