Delivering on the Promise of Endpoint Virtualization

In his article entitled Delivering on the Promise of Endpoint Virtualization (Database Trends and Applications October 2008), Ken Berryman writes the following about Endpoint Virtualization:

The industry is buzzing with talk of endpoint virtualization. This innovation is often seen as a means to reduce enterprise endpoint costs and increase the agility of new endpoint deployments.

However, as many organizations discovered as they implemented server virtualization, unless such technologies are integrated within a single infrastructure framework that spans both the physical and virtual, they can add rather than reduce complexity and cost.
