Virtualization White Papers

Virtualizing the Desktop With ScriptLogic Desktop Authority

Tags:
virtualization

Overview In IT today, the term "Virtualization" is so overused to define various solutions that seemingly have the same end result that the term itself has lost much of its meaning. Many focus the term on moving the operating system from physical hardware to a software-based (and therefore, far more portable) solution. Others focus on the ability to deliver whatever application the user needs on-demand without the need for waiting for an install to complete. Still others look to server-based computing solutions that move the users individual "Desktop" to one shared among many users.
