The software in question enables users to access virtual desktops and applications hosted on VMware’s infrastructure from devices running Google’s Android operating system. It effectively turns an Android tablet or phone into a secure endpoint for a remote workstation. For example, a user could run a Windows-based application on their Android device as if it were locally installed, even if the application itself is running on a server in a data center.
This capability extends the reach of corporate applications and resources, allowing employees to work remotely with increased flexibility and productivity. The advantages include centralized management of applications and data, enhanced security due to data residing on the server rather than the endpoint device, and cost savings through efficient resource utilization. Historically, this type of solution evolved from the need to provide secure and consistent access to enterprise resources across a growing variety of devices and locations.
