Desktop Virtualization

Desktop Virtualization Technical Briefing with Citrix, Microsoft, AppSense and more key ISV’s

Learn the difference between just throwing in a VDI solution, and designing a true Desktop & Application Delivery Architecture. Learn why most VDI projects fail, and the best practices that will show a solid ROI to your CFO/CIO.

Don’t try to bolt-on a Frankenstein solution, – come hear from our team of technical experts. You’ll also experience a great networking opportunity to meet your peers, and learn from their projects as well. Some questions we will help you answer…

* Why is desktop virtualization different than server virtualization
* Is VDI the same thing as Desktop or Application Delivery (hint: it is not)
* What architecture/designs are available
* What are the SAN requirements for Desktop Delivery
* How do you handle user profiles
* How is printing different with virtual desktops or Terminal Services
* When do you use Terminal Server based Application Delivery versus Desktop Delivery (or both)
* What licensing is needed from each manufacturer to implement a solid desktop virtualization architecture
