SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW / 1 SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW Meeting the changing needs of business end-user computing As businesses accelerate into a new decade, the need to stay current and in-touch has generated an explosion in the adoption o mobility devices in the enterprise. Far rom being just an interesting gadget, the iPad® has been adopted by many businesses as the preerred way to handle many day-to-day computing tasks. At the same time, cloud computing has changed how IT users wish to consume computing services. Ater all, instant consumption is possible at home. Need an email account? Sign up now! Need an application? Hit an app store and download now! This has set the bar high—and the gap between the home experience and the work experience has now grown very wide indeed. Clearly the traditional locked-down desktop computing model is not going to satisy the exible business computing needs o users whilst still ensuring good IT governance. It’s not oten that two disruptive shits occur at the same time in technology; but it’s clear today that mobility and cloud computing are combining to change the face of business end user computing. VMware, the global leader in virtualization and cloud computing, has the ideal solution to bridge device reedom while providing new levels o control and security or your current corporate desktop.
