Five ways your PC will change Many workspaces, one device Ease of migration Enhanced data protection and backup Better PC management for mobile and remote workers Remote desktop access

Many workspaces, one device

Ease of migration

Enhanced data protection and backup

Better PC management for mobile and remote workers

Remote desktop access

1. Many workspaces, one device Home environments are messy iTunes, Web surfing, filesharing, malware Provide a secure corporate image Separate personal and corporate apps Share apps between images

Home environments are messy

iTunes, Web surfing, filesharing, malware

Provide a secure corporate image

Separate personal and corporate apps

Share apps between images

Case study: law firm California and China Corporate images as a service 300 seats today 60 new seats per week Eventually 2000 seats Images join corporate domain Handles SSO, network printing
