Secure Telecommuters & At-Home Workers
For virtual teams and telecommuters with a steady Internet connection, use the VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to deliver remote access to server-based virtual desktop PCs through a secure network connection.
- VMware VDI is an end-to-end solution that leverages the proven stability and security of VMware Infrastructure 3 for hosting virtual desktops in the data center.
- Meanwhile, seamless integration with Microsoft Active Directory enables you to leverage your existing access control and policy enforcement infrastructure.
- The result is a secure and highly scalable solution that is an easy fit for most IT environments.
By adopting VMware VDI, your organization will gain the ability to:
- Keep desktop images and sensitive information stored on servers behind the corporate firewall to eliminate the risk of a security breach due to laptop theft.
- Allow remote access through a Web browser for maximum flexibility, or keep access limited to PCs with VMware VDI client software installed for maximum control.
- Prevent data leakage and network intrusions with strong encryption, multifactor authentication and access control policies for client-side USB devices.
Secure Mobile Workers & Field Staff
For mobile users with intermittent access to the Internet, use VMware ACE to deploy "assured computing environments" (ACEs) that workers can use on corporate-owned laptops, employee-owned PCs or even iPods and USB memory sticks—without putting sensitive corporate information at risk.
VMware ACE clients are encapsulated inside a single file or "package", and you can secure ACE packages with strong encryption to protect the entire virtual desktop environment, not just specific files and folders. Administrators can set and enforce granular policies governing the lifespan of each ACE client package, the networks it can access and the peripheral devices that can interface with it, with Active Directory integration for unified user authentication.
The result with VMware ACE is a scalable solution that helps you enhance the mobility of your users while protecting access to valuable corporate information assets.
