Presumably it's no different in terms of management from having, say, 5 desktops to manage?
How do you handle things like "master images" when your apps change? I'm assuming that as with real desktops you'd have 5 machines to bring up to date? Should add we're a vSphere shop but I have no experience whatsoever of VDI so apologies for what may be dumb questions. ________________________________ From: N Parr [[email protected]] Sent: 06 July 2011 4:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Citrix/RDP Alternatives? We used Vmware View for over a year now. Just upgraded to 4.6 and published a connection server so users can get remote access without any VPN. Works like a charm. And the president of the company is still giddy that it works on his iPad. ________________________________ From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2011 10:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Citrix/RDP Alternatives? We have a few in-house Windows applications that are pretty heavy on bandwidth so aren’t easy to run/provision over a VPN. Are there any options out there that work off concurrent use rather than named user or device? Seems that the likes of Citrix or Ericom still rely on having a Terminal Services box underneath as does (obviously) Remote App. One option, and it’s not something I have experience of, may be a pool of virtual desktops? Any ideas would be appreciated.
