ACCELERATE PRODUCTIVITY SECURELY
WITH CLIENT VIRTUALIZATION
THE RAPID RISE OF
MOBILE DEVICES SUCH AS
LAPTOPS AND TABLETS IS
TRANSFORMING THE FACE
OF THE DESKTOP AS WE
KNOW IT.
CLIENT DEVICES

COMPLETELY
VIRTUALIZED OR

PART: 51%1
Today’s workers want the ability to work from
any location, at any time, using any device.
So the question for many organizations is:
“How do we enable anywhere, anytime
application and information delivery, while
also ensuring the protection of corporate
information and minimizing management?”
For many companies, the
answer is to virtualize the
desktop environment and
deploy a flexible work style
strategy with initiatives such as
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
Client virtualization technologies enable
workers to use their own tablet or laptop
for business purposes, but with
important improvements: device
management and application delivery
take place in the data center, not on
the endpoint device.

WHILE THIS NEW WORK
PARADIGM HAS DISTINCT
ADVANTAGES, IT’S NOT
WITHOUT CHALLENGES.
Organizations face a number of
issues when it comes to their
virtualization implementations,
including:
Small wonder, then, that IDC
encourages IT management to
partner with organizations, such
as HP and Citrix, that have built
practices specifically around the
planning and implementation of
virtualization environments.4
