What is End User Computing (EUC)?

End User Computing (EUC) is a technology that allows users to access their desktop and applications from any device, anywhere. EUC solutions typically include virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), application virtualization, and user profile management tools. With EUC, organizations can improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance security for their end users. File shares and home directories are also part of the EUC solution, providing users with access to their files and data from any device.

Users need access to applications to perform their work, either through a single application or a full desktop. Some users might need high-end graphics applications for their desktop workflows or specific application use cases. An EUC solution with NetApp can provide the right solution for each user based on their needs and requirements. With NetApp's EUC solutions, organizations can provide users with access to their desktop and applications from any device, anywhere, while also ensuring that data is stored securely and efficiently.
