The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The hosted virtual desktop (HVD) is a form of desktop computing. Your HVD looks and behaves like a regular desktop. However, your Windows desktop, other software, and your data reside in a central location called a data center. You access your HVD over a secure connection with your Cisco Virtualization Experience Client. The HVD removes the need for typically more costly physical desktop PCs. Central hosting in the data center reduces the cost of providing the applications and computing services that you need.
This type of setup is commonly referred to as a virtual environment.

Your Cisco Virtualization Experience Client is preinstalled with Virtualization Experience Client firmware, and all required software is already set up for you. With Cisco Virtualization Experience Client you use Citrix ICA (opens in Mozilla Firefox), Citrix XenClient, or VMware Horizon View Client to sign into your hosted virtual desktop.
Note | To access your corporate network, you may need to connect by using Cisco AnyConnect. |
If your system administrator installed the optional Cisco Virtualization Experience Media Engine (VXME), you can also place calls with Cisco Jabber on your hosted virtual desktop. For more information about Cisco Jabber, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12862/products_user_guide_list.html.
