Virtual Desktop
The latest versions of the applications you run, configured and locked down for every user - without touching a single physical desktop device
Adapt offers virtual desktop infrastructure that can be accessed by every one of your users, from graphics-intensive designers to call centre staff and the process-driven finance department. Virtual desktops can even be deployed to laptops so your remote workers and senior executives can be securely supported from the same central administration.
Applications are streamed to the virtual desktop according to rules that you set, to manage staff access to software appropriate to their roles. Citrix XenApp delivers the desktop to low cost terminals, PCs, laptops, iPads and even smart phones; content is delivered using a proprietary protocol that is even capable of delivering high speed video over low bandwidth, high latency connections.
