IBM Virtual Desktop for Smart Business

The IBM Virtual Desktop for Smart Business aids workforce mobility by providing anytime, anywhere access to corporate data from mobile devices, such as tablets or laptops. It has been designed for small to medium businesses.

The Virtual Desktop allows Windows or Linux desktops to be hosted and managed centrally, reducing the complexity of managing PC environments through rapid deployment of new applications, automatic software updates and reduced need for help desk requests. The Virtual Desktop that includes VERDE software from Virtual Bridges can be deployed on a customer’s own infrastructure or through a Business Partner ‘private cloud’ hosted environment.

The IBM Virtual Desktop has self-configuring, self-managing and self-protecting features that enable easy installation and management, and continuous back-up and recovery. Whether visiting clients, checking inventory or making patient rounds at a hospital, it provides instant access to information, helping employees solve problems and speed decision-making.

Comprising one console, one system and one implementation, it is claimed to make managing desktops much simpler.
