Abstract
In recent years, it is thought that the virtualization of the desktop is important as an effective solution to various problems that a company has, such as cutting the total cost of desktop PCs that the company owns, achieving efficiency in operative management, and having successful security measures, compliance measures, and business continuity plans. We introduced a client blade-type thin client system, called a “CB system,” and a terminal service-type thin client system, called a “TS system.” The number of users in all of our current group companies is approximately 70,000. We built a virtual PC-type thin client system, called a “virtual PC system,” as a new virtualization technology for the desktop. In this paper, we give the problems we had when managing large-scale users in a virtual PC system and suggest the solution.
