From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 9:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Thin Client For VDI We are using a mixture of Chip PCs and Extreme PCs with Excalibur and VMWare View. The POE Chips are very unreliable using VMWare View. The Extreme PCs run superbly. 2009/8/19 Robert Jackson <[email protected]> Just looking for some information from those of you who have VDI environments. We're in the process of running some Capacity Planning for a VMware purchase. The next stage for us would be to factor in a VDI environment and I was wondering what thin client hardware was in use in the real world? We've had a look at Sun's offerings of their Sun Ray thin clients. Although the back end was Sun's xVM virtualisation solution, I was really impressed by the Sun Ray 270 Client. Don't know specifically if it would work in a VMware environment, but liked the idea of a smart card to operate it.
