EMA has recently completed detailed research into endpoint virtualization, published in its latest research report titled, “Real World Experiences of Endpoint Virtualization.”
Based on data from an in-depth survey of over 100 enterprises, most with current production deployments of desktop and application virtualization, and on interviews with many different organizations, the full 35-page research report provides over 100 data points on expectations, outcomes, cost and functionality benefits, current and future technology deployment plans, key buying decision factors, and more.
Endpoint virtualization is a (mostly) new set of technologies aimed at abstracting the end user experience – typically their logical desktop, application, and/or workspace environments – from the physical systems they rely on to provide that experience – typically a physical desktop or laptop PC. It is variously known not only as endpoint virtualization, but also as desktop virtualization, application virtualization, workspace virtualization, end user virtualization, client virtualization, and more.
– Endpoint virtualization covers many different models, and includes Application Isolation

– OS streaming
– Remote (server-hosted) desktop virtualization
– Local (client-hosted) OS virtualization
– Client-Side Hypervisor
– Browser-based applications
– Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
