ILTA White Paper
legal IT, law firm technology managers
have wrestled with the practice of
deploying and maintaining the latest
in desktop operating systems and
software applications. With the advent
of reliable high-speed LAN and WAN
bandwidths, law firms have become
comfortable with centralizing file
server/storage, as well as email and
document management systems.
The time has come to contemplate
a similar idea for desktop and
application delivery systems, and
the solution is a virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI).
