Subject: [apps-discuss] FW: New Version(-01) for VDI(Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure) problem statement document
Dear All,
We just published version-01 for VDI problem statement, reworked based
on comments from different sources. Thanks a lot for your valuable
comments! Following is the detail for version-01 document, pls. help
review it and welcome any further comments.

Filename: draft-wang-appsawg-vdi-problem-statement
Revision: 01
Title: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Problem
Statement
Creation date: 2011-06-30
WG ID: Individual Submission
Number of pages: 16
Abstract:
The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is a technology to separate local
desktop and remote computing/storage resources, which was initially
derived from the remote desktop administration but with new business
models and very different use cases. Most of existing VDI systems
are based on proprietary implementation, and positioning different
market with different features. Since virtual desktop technology is
believed to be a mainstream application delivery method, like http
protocol against web applications, so it's important to make the
virtual desktop access protocol open and standard. This draft
summarizes the limitations of existing virtual desktop systems, and
proposes the intent standardization work in IETF.

In last mail we didn't describe why we submitted our drafts in IETF
APPSAWG and it confused many, including our chairman. So I want to say
sorry for that. Now I want to explain it briefly: - In current
cloud-computing age, more and more "physical computer" will be moved
into cloud. For end-user whose computers run in the cloud, people will
use some kind of clients to connect to their remote computers. Currently
this is adopted by enterprises around the world, and we believe it will
be widely adopted by both enterprise and consumer market in near future,
just like HTTP we used today. - Currently there are different protocols
for communication between user and remote computer, like VNC, SPICE and
etc (described in the survey document). And at the same time there will
be some trouble if we don't standardize this protocol, which is
described in the problem statement document. - VDI protocol runs on top
of existing transport and network layer, and it is one application
protocol, like HTTP. Because it will re-use many protocols designed in
IETF, like TCP/IP, TLS/DTLS and etc, we think IETF is the best place.
And IETF APPSAWG focuses on protocols presented in user-oriented
programs, so we submit these two documents in APPSAWG.
Have a nice day!
Thanks,
Liang
