There are lots of different names for it out there. Intel calls it “Emerging Compute Models.” Dell and EDS call it “Flexible Computing”. Others call it “Desktop On-Demand” or any number of other names. I’ve been known to call it “Dynamic Environment” or (more recently) “Optimized Client Architectures”. What we are all talking about is the same, however — the more immediate, more reliable, more secure and less costly delivery of computer services to end users, whenever they need them, no matter where they are.
