Centralized, optimized desktop management 25 the streaming server from where it is delivered on demand--per user access rights and permissions--via Terminal Services or directly to a Windows desktop. Another method, not shown in the figure, is delivery of packages using SCCM. Details about how to prepare applications for streaming and how to deliver them to user desktops are found in Chapters 11-14. Desktop hardware virtualization If application streaming is not in your future, then maybe the answer is desktop hardware virtualization. This approach is similar to virtualizing server hardware. Virtualization of desktop hardware begins with installation of Virtual PC. Virtual PC has hardware requirements similar to those of Hyper-V, specif- ically a processor that supports either the Intel Virtualization Technology or AMD-V. Desktop images are centrally managed and delivered to virtualized desktops using MED-V.
