IT administrationvirtualizationremote workVMware ACE: Enhanced Security for Remote Desktop Management Solutions
A new product from VMware stands to parlay its profitable virtualization technology into the growing enterprise desktop management and security space. . Assured Computing Environment (ACE), which VMware shipped late last month, allows IT administrators to easily provision secure, preconfigured, standard PC desktops to remote workers, telecommuters, offshore developers and contractors, according to the Palo Alto, Calif.-based software company.
