What is Sun's virtual desktop proposition?
In this session we will present the unique features and benefits of the Sun VDI proposition.
We'll also explore the deployment options, and how Sun's VDI solution compliments offerings from VMWare, Citrix, Microsoft and others. We'll include references to customer implementations across many sectors : schools, libraries, universities, local government, housing associations, finance, telco, call centres, home working and hot desking and others. Oh yes, and even a case study at Microsoft.
