Computing FAQ  What is remote computing?  The remote computing
system, which runs Citrix’s Xen Desktop software, provides
desktop computers that are virtualized and stored on centrally
managed servers run by IT Services. Users connect to a virtual
desktop system via a connection broker, which then distributes
user connections to the appropriate centrally managed virtual
machine. All settings, programs and data are stored within each
machine so users can get the same consistent working environment
on virtual desktops -- regardless of where they are connecting
from or what client device they are using.  Which devices can
support remote computing connections?  Remote desktops can be
run on a number of different computing platforms, including thin
clients, Apple iPads/iPhones, smart phones, and desktop systems
(windows and macintosh) that have a compatible web browser.
