About Application Virtualization

As part of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Application Virtualization (AV) is implemented in PRL. A desktop operating system is installed and managed centrally from data centre. The desktop image or application is then presented to end-users which interacts with the user in such a way that it appears to be running locally on the user’s device. The endpoint devices may be Windows, Linux, Apple Mac OS or even a mobile device.
