Definition: Distributed Virtual Personal Computer (DVPC)

By Jack Krupansky

A distributed virtual personal computer (DVPC) is the virtualization of the file system of a traditional personal computer so that the user's data is completely cached on the user's personal computer, but maintained in a distributed form on multiple network servers, providing both vendor-diversity and geographic diversity as well as backup and archiving. DVPC also provides "smart versioning" so that mistakes and previous versions of data can be readily accessed at all times.

See: Distributed Virtual Personal Computer (DVPC).

Acronym is DVPC.
