Do t
D not compare d kt virtualisation t server virtualisation,
desktop i t li ti to i t li ti
they interact with hardware differently
Not all desktop brokers are the same
Not all hypervisors are the same
Users do not care how many servers you are not running
because of this project
Users want a better experience than they get now
G t desktop virtualisation wrong and everyone will k
Get d kt i t li ti d ill know
about it
Get server virtualisation wrong and only a pocket of people
know about it

Desktop Interaction is different to Server Interaction with hardware


USERS: What they do, How they do it, When they do it


Solution:
Remove the hard wired
dependencies and consider the
layers independently


Firstly not all desktops are candidates
Fi l ll d k did
Don’t just ask the question how many users can I get on a box….
Guess work is not an option
Objective tests are critical
Work with the user, they need to feel part of the process
Combination of technical and business consulting is needed to ensure success

Partially automated and partially manual
There is a big human element to VDI, don’t forget it.
