This application enables users to access a virtual desktop infrastructure from devices running Google’s mobile operating system. It provides a gateway to remotely access and operate a Windows-based desktop environment and its associated applications on an Android tablet or smartphone. For example, a user can run Microsoft Office or other specialized software installed on a server from their Android device, as if it were locally installed.
The utility delivers several advantages including enhanced mobility, cost savings related to hardware, and improved data security. By centralizing the desktop environment, sensitive data remains in the datacenter instead of on individual devices, mitigating the risk of data loss or theft. Historically, this technology allowed organizations to extend the lifespan of existing applications and infrastructure by making them accessible on modern mobile platforms.
