Hi Mads,
NO argument, Virtuozzo is brilliant from a scalability and efficiency
viewpoint, particularly when compared to using hypervisors.
Because you're doing operating system partitioning instead of hosting
separate instances of an operating system, it's nearly as scalable as
terminal services.
I was a fan of Virtuozzo years before SWsoft became Parallels.
Nevertheless, it's more a virtualization platform than a VDI product because
it's missing a lot of the little bits that round out a complete solution VDI
solution. Stuff like published applications, UPD USB redirection,
multi-media support etc.
If you add Provision Network's VAS, which links into Virtuozzo, then you
have a real VDI solution ;-)
regards,
Rick
