3D Workspace: a new dimension to your desktop

3D Workspace: a new dimension to your desktop

The desktop management landscape has changed As the world of work changes, so do the mechanics of IT management and delivery. Technology advances like virtualised desktop infrastructure (VDI), bring your own device (BYOD) and mobile computing have combined with new commercial models to cater for a new way of working. These additional demands need to integrate with traditional desktop management practices to form part of the IT desktop strategy. Collectively these changes represent a new paradigm for IT.

Organisations need to cater for a blended workforce which includes office-based, mobile, full-time, part-time, and contracted staff. Employees need access to the applications and data that enable them to do their jobs. These applications need to be delivered to a range of devices allowing employees access to the information they need at any time, without compromising on security. Building and operating this kind of desktop environment can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. It s clear that the desktop management landscape has changed. Is your desktop management solution just as clear? 3D Workspace is a provisioning and management solution for both virtual and traditional desktops, allowing you to provide secure access to applications on any device, from any location.
