What Are Virtual Clients?

Data in the Data Center: Workforce Access Anywhere, Anytime

Virtual client computing changes the client management paradigm. Instead of managing desktops and devices, you manage digital identities — the data, preferences, applications, operating systems and IT policies uniquely associated with each user.

Workforce data — the digital identities — reside in a central location in your network. The information stays in one place, but your employees don't have to. They can work with their data from any virtual client-enabled device on your network. 

Dell's service-backed virtual client architectures capitalize on advanced networking and virtualization technologies that make all of this possible. The following three architectures support the centralized data model, but each one targets a different computing challenge:

  • On-Demand Desktop Streaming™ stores the user's data on centralized servers that stream the data to local, typically diskless, computers.
  • Virtual Remote Desktop emulates a local, desktop-computing experience for users who work with their virtual desktops directly on remote servers.
  • Dedicated Remote Workstation delivers the power of a high-performance workstation in a one-to-one relationship between a local user and a remote workstation, typically located in your data center.
