Application virtualization technology is changing the way software is managed, delivered, and consumed at the endpoint. Indeed, bringing virtualization to the endpoint offers IT a natural migration path toward a more fluid computing environment—one that effectively balances the often conflicting trade-offs between security and flexibility.

The benefits of attending this session are that delegates will:

Gain perspective on how virtualization can improve management, increase security, and deliver greater performance and flexibility at the endpoint by de-coupling an IT task from its underlying hardware.
Review how the separation of user data from applications and the ability to centrally manage from the data center can give IT greater control over protecting information assets.

See how on-demand streaming of applications in virtual layers can provide additional benefits by eliminating conflicts between applications, keeping the base OS installation pristine, and providing efficient and flexible application streaming to meet changing business demands.
