Desktop Virtualization: First Standardization – Then Virtualization

The advantages of desktop virtualization are obvious. The required standardized IT environment can be more easily maintained, more flexibly provided, and more effectively secured. Contrary to widespread opinion, the costs of a HVD infrastructure are not lower than those of a fat-client landscape.

Confirm that your security infrastructure is properly enabled and configured.
