DESKTOP VIRTUALISATION AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT IT VIRTUAL TEAM

Abstract

This paper provides an insight into the characteristics and benefits of desktop virtualisation to organisations implementing virtualisation services and solutions across their organisation. With the wide spread of technology and tremendous increase in organisations using cloud and virtualisation products to increase overall performance and serve clients efficiently, we can see a trend in more and more organisations implementing it and setting up virtual teams. Virtualisation which is part of cloud computing technology has extended from initially installing traditional software on a computer to use of internet and login username and password and directly access applications from anywhere and at any time. This study aims to add to the research in virtualisation and cloud computing technologies and discuss on the future implications of virtualisation.
