Deliver Linux VDI from any device

Make your users as productive as possible with the Linux virtual desktop

The need for high-performing Linux apps and desktops has never been bigger. As the global mobile workforce approaches 1.87 billion workers¹, and as more employees need to access mission-critical apps that run solely on Linux, the open-source operating system is playing an increasingly prominent role in the workplace. But with the vast majority of desktop market share going to Windows², much of that Linux-powered work needs to be accomplished on non-Linux devices. Whether you work in an industry requiring complex Linux apps or simply need to reduce IT costs, you need a VDI solution that solves these challenges and others like them.

Keep data secure

While Linux apps and desktops can go a long way in powering productivity, those gains have potential to come at a price—particularly when deployed to an increasingly mobile workforce that can unwittingly put sensitive data at risk. But while the majority of executives agree that data breach dangers are higher when employees work off-site, few businesses have comprehensive policies in place to help guide those workers³. The Linux virtual desktop helps put those security concerns to rest. By securing sensitive data and intellectual property in the data center, you can set up policy controls and provide access based on locations, devices and other factors. It’s one of the fastest, most effective ways to let distributed employees collaborate in real time without putting your data at risk.
