VDI is only part of the answerFlexCast architecture is built to power any desktop use case
Lowest-cost, locked-down desktops? …Try hosted-shared server-based desktops
Corporate managed laptops?
Remote Access to Office PCs?
Supporting Macbooks?
Personal, follow-you-anywhere desktops?
Require dedicated CPU and graphics?
…Remote PC access couldn’t be simpler
…Deploy and backup with Synchronizer
…DesktopPlayer runs a centrally managed local image
…Stream images directly to bare metal in the datacenter
…VDI provides a persistent experience
Leverage low-cost power of ChromeBook? …XenApp delivers Windows apps right in the tabs
Global delivery of professional 3D graphics? …Try shared-GPU accelerated apps or desktops
