Matt, 

 

Have a looksee at the VDI Smackdown document written by the Ruben and the
chaps at PQR - http://virtuall.eu/download-document/vdi-smackdown  Its an
independent overview of a number of VDI solutions detailing different
features and functions.

Subject: [THIN] Xen Desktop and other VDi solutions

 

Hello there,

 

I have been asked to look at VDI solutions to compliment our XenApp
Environment.

There are a number of solutions out there including XenDesktop. 

I quite like XenDesktop and it is a natural compliment to our Xenapp
environment .... but i would like to see what other solutions other people
may have experience of.

We have around 10 000 users running the usual mixed bag of apps. CAD is
there , but this isnt being considered for the VDI solution.

 

A buzzword that i keep reading about is "zero client". We have a number of
Wyse devices and Wyse do indeed provide their own Zero client.

I have also been reading up on other solutions Teradici and a company headed
by an Ex Wyse chappie .. Pano Logic .. although this looks like a smaller
non enterprise type of solution.

Does anyone have any comments on VDI solutions including the ones i have
mentioned ? 

 

Thanks for your time

 

Matt
