Desktop and application virtualization technologies are increasingly being used throughout the enterprise to improve manageability and ease deployment of corporate environments on PCs. While application virtualization solutions are typically limited to a single application, desktop virtualization solutions enable deployment of a full desktop environment. The inclusion of a full operating system in the virtualized desktop image creates solutions with high licensing costs, large footprint and deteriorated performance on end users’ PCs.

Workspace Virtualization takes a suite of standard Windows applications, and creates a virtualized application workspace on top of an existing Windows OS installation. Workspace Virtualization creates a seamless separation between the application workspace and the OS, optimizing the manageability, performance and deployment aspects of the enterprise environment. In this session, we will examine the technical features of Workspace Virtualization, and it application to diverse enterprise deployment scenarios such as remote access, disaster recovery, and creating a managed enterprise “island” on employee-owned and subcontractor-owned PCs.
