Fueling the Desktop Revolution with VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

13:11 | editor | May 14th, 2008 11:44am |

Enterprise computing has come a long way from the days of centralized mainframes in the 1970’s to the fully distributed desktops and laptops we see today. With the workplace becoming more technologically diverse and increasingly mobile, desktop IT workload grows exponentially with each new user and configuration.
