VMware virtual desktops reduce maintenance and hardware costs because memory and CPU can be increased at the server, and desktop provisioning takes less than 15 minutes. With virtual desktops, we no longer need to dispatch desktop technicians out across the county to deal with problems doctors encounter on the client devices."
