IDC paper – Extending PC Life-Cycle Management and Client Virtualization with VMware Horizon Mirage
PC life-cycle management (PCLM) solutions primarily focus on deploying or moving an application or an operating environment to a new user location. Functions include packaging, distributing, installing , and updating an application or an operating environment. These solutions provide a certain level of automation and are certainly more advanced than dealing strictly with scripts. However, they have complex workflows and do not provide the highest level of automation. In today’s multidevice world, where the average user carries three or more devices, this paradigm alone is not agile enough for modern end users.
