The product provides the ability to consolidate and serve multiple Windows Desktops from Linux server infrastructure.

Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server allows organizations to standardize the application environment to users regardless of desktop hardware and operating system - Windows, UNIX, or Linux can be used on the client, but a common application profile can be created and served from Linux server configurations such as blade servers, rack arrays or large multi-way machines.

The features of Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server include:
