Microsoft recommends companies new to desktop virtualization segment end users and evaluate User State Virtualization as one of their first steps. By synchronizing personal profiles, settings, and data in the datacenter, users can access their data and user settings from any authorized PC, at any time. How it works… A set of Windows-based technologies that enable customers to virtualize the data and user settings within their desktop infrastructure. What it is… Where it helps… Increases Business Agility and Continuity Delivers Anywhere Access Centralizes Data
Users can access their unique settings and data from any connected PC Users can access their data and folders from any connected PC Users can access files on their PC even with an unavailable or slow connection
