Symantec is building out its endpoint virtualization widgetry by acquiring nSuite Technologies, a privately held virtual workspace management company that has specialized in hospitals and healthcare, on undisclosed terms.

The buy will give Symantec presentation virtualization and connection brokering technologies so users can access a personal Windows workspace running on a remote server as though it were local and move it to any widget.

The acquisition is scheduled to close this month.
