subject: Benefits Of Virtualization Of Desktop [print this page] The virtualization of desktop separates a PC desktop environment from physical machine using client server computing model. In desktop virtualization concept, physical computer becomes an access point into the virtual desktop, which means the screen is local, but everything else including software is running within the virtualization software. The virtual desktop can be accessed remotely from anywhere in the world, via a secure username and password. It can be opened on any computer with internet connection.
In cloud desktop scenario, the host software opens the desktop on the top of local PC desktop in full screen mode, and once you have logged in, it seems like everything is running on the local machine. In fact, the cloud desktop eliminates the physical limits of PCs while preserving the personalized settings and look the user is accustomed to. It is an improved technology that helps manage the desktop resources efficiently, reduces IT overhead and enhances the end-user experience.
The virtualization of desktop provides an ideal solution for businesses that are looking for innovative ways to reduce costs while maximizing the value. A cloud desktop behaves just like a regular desktop PC, but the data and software are hosted in a remote, secure data center (not on the local machine). You can simply access your hosted desktop through a web connection from anywhere, using a specialized device (thin client). Flexibility and scalability are the two most important benefits offered by cloud desktop computing. You can add or subtract the capacity and users as and when needed and respond quickly to your changing IT needs.
