Flexible and Secure Virtualization Management
Microsoft Desktop Virtualization solutions provide you with the ability to create solutions to improve flexibility to user and business requirements, improve business continuity with fast provisioning of corporate applications and data, and simplify management by unifying IT operations onto a single infrastructure across physical and virtual environments. Benefits of Microsoft Desktop Virtualization include:
Secure access to Windows from any connected device
Microsoft Desktop Virtualization provides you with the flexibility to access Windows from a connected device of your choice (desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and even non-Windows* devices), giving you the freedom to work everywhere. It empowers you to keep users productive by providing them a consistent and personalized experience across multiple devices, while making sure the corporate environment is safe.

Secure access to applications, data and personal setting on any corporate PC
Microsoft Desktop Virtualization enables applications, data and personal settings to follow the user; keeping your users productive when they switch corporate PCs and even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Using Application Virtualization and User State Virtualization, you can give users a consistent experience by providing them with access to their personalized Windows experience across multiple connected or disconnected corporate PCs, online or offline, mobile or local.
Maximize hardware investments by providing access to multiple Windows instances from a single device
Microsoft Desktop Virtualization facilitates optimal use of hardware by enabling access to multiple Windows environments – or instances -- from the same client device. It will enable your organization to pursue “bring your own device” programs for employees, where they use their personally owned hardware for both personal and business purposes. It helps IT keep the corporate environment secure even when it is accessed by unmanaged devices.
Simplify compliance by centralizing corporate data and controlling user access
Microsoft Desktop Virtualization helps in securing confidential corporate data by centralizing desktops in the datacenter, removing applications and data from the endpoint. It enables IT to provide comprehensive and secure remote access to corporate resources for employees, partners, and vendors on both managed and unmanaged devices.
Improve business continuity by ensuring uninterrupted access to corporate applications and data.
Microsoft Desktop Virtualization helps you and your employees remain productive by instantly provisioning user applications and data in the event of business disruptions, including lost or dysfunctional PCs, natural disasters, and power outages. Business information is stored centrally to prepare for unforeseen events and retrievable by users easily, all the time.
Accelerate on-demand delivery of virtual applications and desktops based on user identity and role
Microsoft Desktop Virtualization reduces the time and effort required to deploy corporate applications and Windows 7 to users. It provides application self-provisioning to end users based on their identity and the device they are using to access corporate resources. IT can deliver applications or desktops to users as a service with infrastructure that is hosted on premises, private cloud, or public cloud.
Centralize and unify management across physical and virtual environments
With System Center, organizations can achieve desktop virtualization benefits without increasing the cost and complexity of management by consolidating security and management applications into a unified infrastructure, making it easy to inventory, update, and configure physical and virtual desktops. You can deliver agility and efficiency through automation, self-service, and rich extensibility.
