The clients access their personal desktop spaces on the server and there's little noticeable difference compared with running the operating system and applications locally. XenDesktop includes clever technology to avoid common thin-client pitfalls, such as the fact videos and animations don't play well, by shifting some of the processing work to the client computer.
XenDesktop also allows your workers to access their desktops from home, provided the server is configured to be publicly accessible and they have the right client software installed. You can even use mobile phones to connect to the desktop environments.
