We use the term “Desktop” here in its abstract sense, referring to what you see on your computer monitor(s). It embodies a service that AIMS delivers to you wherein you can get work done. It’s Windows and Excel and Outlook, and so much more. How we deliver that desktop to you comes in a variety of forms. They are here on this page, and you can click through for more detail.
Desktop Computer
A great choice when mobility is not a factor. The standard configuration handles regular productivity software like Microsoft Office programs with ease. May be necessary for more advanced applications like Computer Aided Design (CAD) and graphic/video editing where additional configuration options are important.
Laptop Computer
Great for the mobile professional who must take their work on the run. This option typically includes a docking station and normal desktop monitor(s), keyboard, and mouse for when you're in the office at your regular desk.

Virtual Machine (VM)
Although not a selection made available to all AIMS customers at this time, Virtual Machines are an important part of several of our customer group's computing environment. If it is mandatory that you be assigned a VM, your departmental management will make this known to you.
