Desktop virtualization isn't a mere fad or industry hyperbole. ESG research indicates that large organizations are actively deploying desktop virtualization technology. But why are enterprises jumping on the virtual desktop bandwagon? How are they measuring success? What about endpoint security? Will desktop virtualization make this situation better or worse-and why? Find out in this complimentary white paper.

Today's enterprises are virtualizing desktops to lower costs and increase efficiency, but their endpoint security may not be prepared to safeguard them during this transition. Virtual desktops are as vulnerable to threats as their physical counterparts, especially when they are accessing the web. With over 2400 new malware attacks hitting per hour, physical and virtual endpoints are under increasing attack. To defend both, enterprises need a virtualization-aware solution designed to maximize security without compromising the performance and cost benefits of their virtual desktop infrastructure.

Enterprises are increasingly online and data-centric, and no matter what the purpose-connecting partners, personnel, suppliers, or customers-applications face a growing danger of cyber attacks. These targeted threats are greater and more sophisticated than ever before, and data security compliance becomes more stringent every day. Your company needs uncompromising security that enables you to modernize your datacenter with virtualization and cloud computing without reducing performance.
