     • benefits
       • Better control -authorized members have access to an independent desktop and can control desktop remotely
       • Resources management - most of the hardware investments gets consolidated and cost reduces
       • easy administartion and configuration - using single desktop interface rather than for all desktops

2. application virtualization

   • it encapsulates application form underlying OS , makes it believe as if app is installed with the OS
     • benefits

       • easy rollbacks and updates

3. DIFFERENCES

   • difficult to manage application because small adjustments get updated in all virtual desktop instances
     • cost depends on the use
       • may Still depend on underlying OS
         • get more experience of virtualization
   • faster maintenance and easy updation
     • cost friendly
       • independent of underlying OS
         • less virtualization is experienced
