Focus: Desktop virtualisation and mobility
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
As enterprises look to tap into the productivity benefits that come from enabling their employees to use smartphones and tablets to get their day-to-day work done, interest in the use of desktop virtualisation technologies has risen accordingly.

In this guide, we take a close look at how a number of CIO from a wide range of industries have sought to address the demand for mobile working within their organisations, and the technologies they have deployed to ensure data security and access is maintained at all times.
