Desktop
• Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktops for individual
users that can be fully customized based on user profiles
• Allows users to perform specialized tasks that require administrator
access to their desktop
• Enables users to access their personalized desktop from any
computer while retaining the last saved state
• Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktop based on a
pool of virtual machines that are shared by multiple users
• Allows users to perform standardized routine tasks and have
access to common applications (such as Microsoft Office)
• Rolls back the state upon logoff to provide a “clean” desktop for the
next user’s session, but the previous user’s state can be saved
offline
