We’ve only looked at VMWare solutions so far since we have already virtualized 90% of our servers using their products. Have you compared Citrix vs VMWare to see the pro’s & con’s?
I’m guessing we’ll go w/ VMWare, but I guess it wouldn’t be smart to exclude everyone atleast for the fact finding purposes. Thanks! From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 9:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Virtual Desktop (VMWare) We are looking into the Citrix virtual desktop, as our Citrix representative claims that over the long term is it cheaper. I'm not sure about that and asked for some numbers, since Citrix licensing and renewals are very expensive (and there is no non-profit/gov't pricing). We already use several Citrix products though, and they work well. I can see about 60% of our staff using VM desktops, which might be able to save us money. Any other technologies to review? >>> "Wilhelm, Scott" <[email protected]> 2/5/2010 7:19 AM >>> Has anyone setup their desktops to run in a virtual environment on a organization wide scale? We’re a k-12 school looking for whatever cost savings, and I’m trying to investigate whether it’s worth the switch, if there’d be an actual cost savings, and what solutions are available and work best. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
