This is what MS is handing out at VMworld….
VMworld Day 1 Keynote
I wanted to do a live blog on the Keynote but my streaming audio collapsed so many times that I can’t write a decent article… but luckily Scott was in the room and he managed to publish an article a few minutes after the keynote ended. So read it here. Great stuff,
One of the problems with VDI…
One of the problems with VDI has always been RDP. Especially when connecting over a WAN. Key with VDI is, like Paul Maritz just stated in his keynote, is user experience. VMware just announced an alliance with Teradici to achieve a greater user experience for a true remote PC.
The protocol will be incorporated into a future release of the newly announced VMware View set of products that extend VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to include both server hosted virtual desktops and client virtual desktops that can run on any laptop or desktop computer. VMware View will provide a personalized view of users’ desktops from any device, anywhere, while providing centralized management of desktops in the datacenter.
