DESCRIPTION
Following on from Point to Point’s first presentation at VM08 we will look to continue our assessment of the Desktop Virtualisation landscape. This will include a discussion of updates in the area from the point of view of advancements in technology implementation experience gained from delivery of this strategy as well as implementation and the new directions this is taking. The presentation will also try to demystify some of the hype and misinformation associated with Desktop Virtualisation and clear up the confusion that we see our customers face when they embark on a strategy of this nature.
