Citrix Dazzle
ByI like the idea of Citrix Dazzle. Citrix is taking the approach with applications that they can be subscribed to by end users from any device from anywhere and still have a secure connection. According to Citrix, Dazzle is:
- A self-service “Application Store” for corporate employees
- A simple store front for applications published by Citrix XenApp
- A familiar interface for end users to install applications for use with little or no training. The feel is like adding Acrobat Reader or some other web application
- Free (2H09)

Cloud computing won’t just all of a sudden be adopted by organizations; but this approach does fit in with building a core that enables clouds eventually.

A really interesting green computer technology I found is desktop virtualization. It's where multiple people can use the same computer at the same time each with their own monitor, mouse and keyboard. This saves a lot of electricity and e-waste. A company called Userful recently set a virtualization world record by delivering over 350,000 virtual desktops to schools in Brazil. They have a free 2-user version for home use too. Check it out: userful.com

This is a nice expression of the service request catalog concept in ITIL.
And it's a core technology to succesful virtualization because it's the vehicle to communicate standards and elicit demand. Now there's a lot more apps out there than what Citrix hosts, but it's a nice validation of the concept.
