Profile and data redirection ensure that if a user switches between VMs they have a consistent environment. Users customize their environments and it's vital that these customizations and configuration are maintained between connections. Solutions for application virtualization include Microsoft Application Virtualization and VMware Thin App. This wait is undesirable and leads to a poor end user experience and a loss of productivity while users wait for the application to install.

Standard application installation methods can be used, such as deploying via MSI files, but the install time may be several minutes. Application virtualization enables fast availability of applications to the virtual client OSs. VMware uses VMware View Manager as its preferred session broker. Also, Microsoft has partnered with Citrix to allow use of XenDesktop as a session broker for Microsoft VDI. Windows Server 2008 R2 will provide a session broker for VDI. The session broker is responsible for distributing sessions from clients to VMs and redirecting users of disconnected sessions back to their original VMs. The virtual management platform ensures there is always a pool of VMs available for new connections. This platform not only creates VMs, but also uses templates and libraries of disk images to provision the client OSs in the VMs. This platform manages the servers and helps provision VMs quickly and efficiently.

The protocol will also handle certain features such as device and printer redirection. This protocol could be the RDP protocol that's part of XP and Vista or an add-on protocol.
