With the advent of technologies for both desktop virtualization and application virtualization, we are just at the beginning of the Cloud journey to desktop application availability. As we progress through 2011, there are already many applications available in the Cloud; for example SalesForce, Google Docs and Microsoft Office 365. 

Is your organisation ready these new opportunities and challenges? How do you get your business critical applications ready for a Cloud environment? Our white paper is a great place to start your Cloud journey.

ChangeBASE has created a new application compatibility tool for companies considering moving to a session virtualization or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment with Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (RDS). The AOK Tool helps to determine which applications will work optimally in a server-hosted desktop virtualization environment on Windows Server 2008 R2.

“As customers increasingly look at deploying RDS to meet their needs for session virtualization and VDI, new tools to help facilitate adoption are a welcome addition to the market,” said Manlio Vecchiet, Director of Product Management, Windows Server and Virtualization at Microsoft. “We believe that customers will benefit from tools such as the AOK Tool when addressing RDS application compatibility in the context of a desktop virtualization initiative.”
