Virtualization is now being used as a desktop computing platform. Client virtualization moves the execution, storage, and management of desktop environments from a distributed environment to a centralized environment where the environments are accessed by end users typically through PCs or thin clients. IT administrators can centrally manage all virtual desktops in the data center environment, thus improving IT support efficiency. In addition, administrators can quickly set up new virtual machines, ensuring virtually zero downtime.
Growth in the use of virtualization
Client virtualization technologies can enable organizations to simplify and improve desktop management capabilities such as software and hardware upgrades, patching, disaster recovery, and operating system migrations.
