The Provision Networks Virtual Access Suite (VAS) is a comprehensive framework that leverages the VMware Virtual Infrastructure to transform the physical desktop computer and its applications into on-demand virtual services. More than a traditional connection broker, VAS empowers a hosted desktop infrastructure with extensive VM management and monitoring capabilities, as well as a complete enterprise access and application delivery solution. 

Provision Networks VAS includes:

1. Virtual Access Broker: Highly scalable service responsible for VM pool management, status monitoring, fault management, policy enforcement, and client connectivity arbitration.
    
2. Access Infrastructure: Sophisticated access portal including the Web interface and SSL gateway, enabling any PC or thin client to securely connect and access a VAS-enabled Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
    
3. Enhanced End-User Experience and Last-Mile Features: Full-desktop and application publishing, seamless windows, up to 4096X2048 screen resolutions, multi-monitor support, single sign-on, smartcard authentication, USB handheld redirection, user profile management, and universal print driver
    
4. End-Point Computing: On-demand access to VDI-based published desktops and applications using a Web browser or the AppPortal client, including the AppPortal desktop-integrated mode in which application shortcuts are automatically propagated to the user's local desktop

This makes the Provision Networks’ VAS solution the only set of building blocks you need to add to any Virtual or Physical Infrastructure for a comprehensive VDI implementation.
