I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using Application Virtualization? My company has a lot of remote users and many of them log into the Terminal Server to access Quickbooks, Email, Excel, etc. Lately the network has seemed to be getting bogged down, making it difficult for people to work effectively. Is Application Virtualization a good option? We're looking at upgrading to T1's, but we're also looking at adding 4x the number of employees by this time next year (I know, opposite of what the economy is doing).

If V-App is not a good solution, what are some other options?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I'm not sure I understand how virtualization is going to solve network congestion?

It -could- help with server load issues if you're switching from a traditional rack to virtual servers on blades. But app virtualization could be detrimental to your network load since end users would be accessing every resource over the network as opposed to a locally installed application.

They already are. The users outside the office use Quickbooks, Outlook, and Excel exclusively from within Terminal Server.
