Validated Virtual Desktop Solution Architecture for Federal Teleworkers

The Telework Enhancement Act and initiatives around disaster recovery and COOP pose both an opportunity and a challenge for federal IT leaders. Users expect and require access to applications and data on a variety of devices to maximize productivity, but IT is pressured to secure information and control critical processes and data. Every Federal IT organization today is working to embrace mobile computing for a number of reasons, including:

  • Lowering its carbon footprint and energy costs by reducing employee commutes.
  • Improving employee satisfaction and work/life balance especially for younger workers who expect more flexible mobile work arrangements.
  • Striving for an "always-on" and agile eGovernment infrastructure that gives employees immediate access to information.
  • Supporting continuity of operations (COOP) in the event of emergencies by helping employees do their jobs effectively from home or remote locations.

Horizon View helps federal IT leaders comply with the Telework Enhancement Act, meet COOP initiatives, and solve the access-control dilemma by helping IT personnel manage desktops centrally and effectively.
