Focus: Desktop virtualisation and mobility
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
As enterprises look to tap into the productivity benefits that come from enabling their employees to use smartphones and tablets to get their day-to-day work done, interest in the use of desktop virtualisation technologies has risen accordingly.
