Government IT faces many of the same challenges as Corporate IT, yet often under greater compliance restrictions and with leaner budgets. They must deploy productivity applications, manage them across different divisions and even locations and, at all times, secure the desktop environment to prevent rogue software installations, viruses and other malware.

Until now, government agencies and commercial enterprises have had to rely on a range of different technologies and time-consuming processes to address all these aspects of running a secure, high-performance IT infrastructure. Now, with the advance of software virtualization technology, CIOs and IT managers have a single tool to deploy and manage applications agency-wide while enabling critical lockdown capabilities for the desktop.

This webinar from Softricity(R), the pioneer in application virtualization and streaming technology, will introduce the advantages of software virtualization for time- and resource-challenged organizations. Softricity will discuss how the Softricity Desktop(TM) can be used to harden operating system environments, deploy software without local installation and insulate applications from the OS as well as from each other. The Softricity Desktop includes the patented SoftGrid(R) Platform, which virtualizes and streams applications as network services to any machine, anywhere, and ZeroTouch(TM), which creates a self-service IT center for end users.
