1.1
Introduction
Desktop virtualization provides a new perspective to reconsider the design and implementation of an IT
infrastructure. In a desktop virtualization infrastructure, a station is no longer a cumbersome desktop, but simply an
endpoint device for users to access delivery services from the server(s).
With the introduction of the desktop virtualization technologies, you can considerably benefit from:
On-demand application / desktop access
Centralized management of work environments
Drastically reduced endpoint software/hardware issues
Simplified system maintenance
Improved system security
More scalability with low-cost endpoint devices
But still you need a powerful software for managing a large number of endpoint devices in a desktop virtualization
infrastructure. The ViewSonic Device Manager console is designed to fill the need. It enables you to remotely deploy,
manage, update clients, and assist users from a single computer. You can manage and update clients simply and
quickly in groups with a flexible and secure mechanism. Additionally, you can remotely assist users in resolving
problems or configuring local settings.
