Mobile Knowledge Workers
Workers such as sales professionals, consultants and accountants need access to their data and applications virtually anywhere, anytime. While users expect flexibility and the ability to take their data with them while on the go, the IT department needs to make sure that data is protected and end user productivity is not significantly impacted in the case of a lost or stolen laptop. Additionally, both the user and IT share the concern about easily having a "replaceable PC" to get the user back up and running with the same applications and, most importantly, the user's data, while reducing downtime.
Microsoft's recommended "replaceable PC" solution for mobile workers includes Windows Vista Enterprise with Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption to better protect data, Microsoft Application Virtualization (formerly SoftGrid) to deliver users the applications they need for online and offline use without installing them, and Folder Redirection with Offline Files and Folders to centrally store and make data available to the user, online and offline.
