Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI Workshop

To better deploy applications, centralize desktop management and tighten security, organizations have deployed or are exploring Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). But it's important to understand the intricacies of VDI in order to capture its full benefits. As the End User Computing (EUC) landscape has evolved, so has VDI and the solutions it provides to securely deliver a high-performance virtual desktop to end users while reducing capital and operational costs.
