Client virtualization-based technologies have the potential to significantly reduce the need to make costly or ineffective business compromises. Several emerging solutions that take advantage of client virtualization allow the diverse needs of IT organizations, business units, and end-users to be met, simultaneously. These solutions support five key attributes of today's computing world: central management, protected data, on-demand delivery, local compute and graphics, and support for mobility. We call this family of solutions Dynamic Virtual Client computing.
DVC technologies and solutions include application virtualization, OS and application streaming, and an emerging class of solutions based on virtual container models. Centralized management and on-demand delivery go hand in hand by allowing IT to manage applications or OS images centrally, while remotely delivering the user required base image and any sequenced updates as needed by the user.
