What are Virtual Workspaces
• Virtual Workspaces are centrally managed and delivered
Windows-based desktops and applications.

Critical Step: Match Appropriate Technology
with Use Case with User!
• What are you trying to do?
• There are several ways to deliver Virtualized Workspaces to users.
• Flexibility vs. Cost
Task Workers Full Desktop Users Mobile Desktop Users
Least connected Most connected

Remote Desktop Services (RDS)/Terminal
Services (TS)
• Many users same needs
• Users do not require Admin rights
• Users do not need to install applications
• Users do not require access to specialized hardware (Signature
Pads, Transcription Pedal, Cell Phone Sync, Complex Video)

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
• Different needs from user to user
• Users may require admin Rights
• Users may require ability to installation applications
• Users may require the ability to use specialized hardware
(Signature Pads, Transcription Pedal, Cell Phone Sync,
Complex Video)

Offline Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (Offline VDI)
• Users have periods of limited access
to network connectivity
• Users have 0 tolerance for network
unavailability
• Existing applications have “offline capabilities” (e.g. Periodic
Sync/No requirement for central DB)
