NEW YORK, NY -- Desktop virtualization is transforming the enterprise datacenter, according to a recent report by the 451 Group, a software industry analysis firm.

Today, IT administrators face a host of challenges involving desktop management and application distribution.  Running applications across incompatible operating systems, managing desktop sprawl and ensuring efficient provisioning and execution of desktop applications are the major problems.

"By allowing partitioning, emulation and aggregation at every layer of the software stack, virtualization is tranforming enterprise IT from the datacenter server farm to the desktop PC, thin client or remote laptop at the enterprise edge," Rachel Chalmers, author of the report.
