For deployments of 50+ workstations, evaluating endpoint virtualisation is a must. The advantages can be huge:

Use Virtual PCs to lower hardware and operating costs.
Since users can work with multiple operating systems simultaneously and seamlessly switch between virtual machines running them, there is no need to dedicate entire machines to specific operating systems. From one location, virtual workstation users can load and use the ideal operating system to complete necessary tasks. With a reduced number of physical machines, enterprises can significantly lower hardware infrastructure expenses, dramatically shrink operating and cooling costs, and more efficiently use physical office space

Improve IT efficiency.
Testing new software, updates or patches in a virtual PCs prior to deployment to physical environments ensures that potentially hazardous bugs or conflicts can be identified and eliminated before they can do damage to servers or individual machines. IT managers can also test complex, multi-tier applications on a single machine rather than risk their physical network.

Run mission-critical "legacy" applications on virtual machines alongside modern day-to-day applications.
Instead of dedicating an older machine specifically to run an aging legacy program, users can create a virtual machine inside with the necessary hardware requirements and that runs the appropriate legacy OS, and run it alongside their primary OS.

Create portable virtual PC profiles that can be used anywhere.
Virtual machine profiles can be easily zipped in a single file that can be instantly loaded on any virtual workstation-enabled machine. Users working anywhere can work their "home" machine profile, regardless of their location, or their temporary workstation's hardware configuration.
