Overview
The Corporate Open Source Desktop
Costs incurred when deploying and updating workstations are increasingly high. Maintaining a satisfactory security level is increasingly difficult. The Mandriva Corporate Desktop is an operating system for workstations and laptops. Its simplicity of use leads to a quick understanding of its functioning. In coordination with Pulse2 and Mandriva Directory Server as additional tools, the Mandriva Corporate Desktop leads to a decrease of the recurrent costs while improving the security level. Simplicity and the ease of use means more time for your staff to stay focused on high value tasks that increase profits.
