A term that I’ve been hearing more frequently in the past few months is “desktop virtualization.” What does that mean anyway? It seems to me that this could be the use of any one of several different virtualization technologies in several categories of virtualization software (see Sorting out the different layers of virtualization for the Kusnetzky Group model of virtualization software.) Let’s examine what desktop virtualization is and how it can be accomplished using several different types of software. Today’s topic will be the role of access virtualization in desktop virtualization. We’ll look at the role of application virtualization and processing virtualization in future posts.

Take a look at this interesting post which is talking about desktop virtualization, it’s an interesting read. We can discuss desktop virtualization in many ways, whether we mean the Citrix virtual desktop type solution, the application virtualization of specific applications like say Excel, or virtualization of the actual desktop in terms of replacing that pc, with Windows, drives and everything else with a thin client loading a virtual instance, a virtual pc.
