IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Virtual Client Computing 2019–2020 Vendor Assessment

Virtual client computing (VCC) includes software and systems designed to abstract applications and desktops away from the client device, allowing for additional layers of control and security. These systems may simply present another operating system on the device itself; draw on resources from a private cloud, a hosted environment, or the public cloud; or use a combination of these features along with the emerging concepts of edge computing and adaptive design to create complex digital workspaces.
