VDI provides customers with a server-based computing solution that enables them to centralize desktop management in the data center. As enterprise customers have tried to implement the first and second generation of VDI, they have found significant barriers to adoption that have prevented them from realizing the benefits of desktop virtualization across the entire enterprise.

This paper will discuss the barriers of desktop virtualization adoption in the enterprise, the need for convergence in desktop virtualization approaches and the unique requirements across different types of enterprise users.

RingCube’s vDesk solution provides a complete managed Windows desktop virtualization solution that allows a user’s desktop environment to be decoupled from the operating system and encapsulated into a secure container, including applications, data, settings and system resources.
