I’m a big proponent of Horizon—though in the interests of full disclosure that’s partially because I make a living implementing it. The full suite is very powerful but even the basic VDI-only capability is very good, though you will probably want to get your ESXi stack up to 6.0 or 6.5 to really take advantage. ---- Jack Kramer, Senior Consultant Small Type Computing - www.smalltype.net<http://www.smalltype.net> W: 855-765-8973 x101 - C: 248-635-4955

I’m asking what you guys are using, and why. We are a VMWare shop, running ESXi 5.5, but don’t own licensing for Horizon. That is currently the front-runner for the VDI project. I have looked at Jentu, very briefly, and while it sounds awesome, there’s not a whole lot of info on how it does what it claims to do. I think Citrix would be a non-starter, due to licensing, but I haven’t looked at Citrix in over 10 years, so if something has changed, I’d love to be enlightened.
