Organizations are moving virtual servers out of test and development systems and into
production, whether to improve agility, reduce costs, or grapple with limitations in the data
center. In doing so, they are faced with new issues of governance, security, management, and
compliance. Many IT executives are also beginning to apply the lessons they have learned from
server virtualization to the problems of the enterprise desktop. With virtualization as a new, key
element of desktop provisioning, they hope to take better control of desktops, for reasons of
security, availability and compliance, as well as to improve the flexibility and the performance of
those desktops -- all at a lower operating cost than before.
