The current transformation of the IT workplace is drawing a lot of attention for a number of reasons. Simply put, the workplace of today is becoming the workspace of tomorrow. The dynamics of this evolution are reflected in the breakout sessions which address the technologies, trends and topics that are of relevance to thin clients and desktop virtualization.
