Overview
Day-to-day desktop operations headaches continue to grow at an alarming pace as employees become more mobile, application incompatibilities increase, and the importance of data security expands. From January 2007 to April 2008, Forrester’s inquiry load from IT professionals reflected a concern to standardize and simplify the corporate computing environment, with 39% of all desktop operations and architecture inquiries relating to client virtualization. As client virtualization moves from myth to reality, end users have shown an interest in taming the hype around desktop virtualization, with local and hosted desktop virtualization accounting for 59% of all client virtualization inquiries. Following in suit was vendor interest in the client virtualization space, application virtualization, and the costs associated with desktop virtualization. While these inquiries are just the tip of the iceberg, they give insights into what is on the minds of desktop operations and architects and where the client virtualization market is headed.
