You want to VNC or SSH into a remote workstation that happens to be asleep.

You need to do maintenance on hardware and you don't want it running wasting power or it happen to be off such as the case with many client boxes?
You need to start a node and you don't want it running wasting power while you don't need it?

So in summary, none of my uses. ;-)
VMware covers the server side, and the client PC's go to standby mode till a timer wakes them up to scan for updates.
