Abstract :
Rapid advances in cloud computing have made it possible to replace individual working environments with centralized and consolidated workplaces. These workplaces bring many advantages over traditional self-managed environments, such as improved security and compliance, and rapid on-boarding. In this paper we describe the implementation of a desktop cloud at IBM Research.
