Desktop virtualization allows organizations to centralize management of desktop environments for increased security, flexibility and cost savings. It stores all data and applications on centralized servers rather than individual PCs, allowing users to access their desktop from any device. Benefits include reduced costs through more efficient management, increased security with all data stored centrally, and support for mobility and disaster recovery. Successful implementation requires a strong technical team, reliable vendor support, user training and a robust network infrastructure. Virtual desktops can reduce electricity consumption by 60% and total cost of ownership by 25% over three years.
