Seductive, virtualization workstation VDI does not benefit. Marion Gravot, product marketing manager at Systancia, the future is a combination mode VDI – SBC that gives priority to application virtualization and provides the workstation as needed
Virtualization workstation or otherwise called VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) is the technology solution that everyone is
talking about now. The largest international analysts like Gartner have paved the way and presented all the advantages of this approach:
* Operating systems and applications are no longer installed directly on the user workstations, but servers;
* The IT department of a company can easily manage their infrastructure and completely alleviating, including maintenance operations;
* The user to start his computer, like being on a normal workstation, nothing changes, but in fact, he became an image, a virtual representation of the system (eg Windows Seven ), image-related data center that hosts the actual system.
For example, if I have a fleet of 1,000 conventional PCs with Windows Vista, how can I easily switch to the new version of Microsoft? Moving towards a VDI, my deployment of the 1,000 Microsoft operating systems Seven takes a few clicks on my server infrastructure. Users, the next connection, see on their desktops, the focus Vista replaced by Seven. The ultimate solution is to replace desktop PCs, thin clients, cheaper and dramatically reduce energy consumption. The thin client contains nothing, apart from the party performing the virtual image.
