Second VDI Article Published

Another VDI article I wrote has been published by SearchVMware.com:

In my last article on virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), I discussed the three main components of a VDI solution: the virtualization servers and supporting infrastructure, the hosted operating system (OS) instances, and the connection broker. In this article, I’d like to take a more detailed look at the connection broker and some of the functionality that brokers provide in a VDI deployment.

Go check out the full article!

    Scott,
    I find your VDI entries very interesting, they give a great overview of the technology. I especially like the real life experience with particular software, like connection brokers.

    I wonder if you tried VMware’s Silverstone beta so far? Would be interesting to know if they allow TS/Citrix servers to be used as resources together with VMs running, say Windows XP.

    Alec,

    I have the Silverstone/VDM beta software, but haven’t found time in the lab to load it up yet. I hope to be able to do that very soon; most of my time in the lab right now is spent on ESX 3.5/VC 2.5. :)
