Virtual desktop infrastructure allows users to access their desktop environment and applications from any device. It provides benefits over traditional desktop computers like increased flexibility, lower costs, and centralized management. Options for virtual desktops include personalized virtual desktops for each user, session-based desktops for groups of users, and pooled desktops with dedicated virtual machines. The virtual infrastructure delivers advantages such as access from any location, energy savings, and simplified software updates.
Thin clients are computer programs that rely heavily on a server to fulfill computational roles rather than performing these roles independently like traditional fat clients. Thin clients have their roots in terminals used to access mainframe computers and evolved into graphical user interfaces powered by X server software running on the client. Thin client infrastructures allow computations to be shared across multiple clients connected to a single server, amortizing computing power for improved efficiency.
This document provides an overview of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and its key components. VDI allows centralizing desktops in a data center for easier management, security and updates. It discusses the virtualization layer, connection brokers, client devices and remote access options. Live demos show examples of VDI solutions from VMware and Citrix. Benefits include cost savings, security, mobility and disaster recovery. Requirements like network performance, storage and connectivity are also reviewed.
Thin client computing moves user data and applications from desktop computers to centralized servers in professionally managed data centers. This reduces the total cost of ownership for IT infrastructure. A thin client is a simple user interface device that accesses computational services over a network from a server. Key enabling technologies are remote display protocols that allow graphical displays to be served across the network to thin clients. Thin clients are more secure and easier to manage than traditional desktop computers since the server consolidates resources and access points.
Thin client machines offer potential benefits like lower costs, centralized management, and energy efficiency compared to traditional fat clients. However, thin clients require substantial upfront infrastructure investments and may not support all tasks like multimedia. Schools should carefully consider their objectives and needs, learn from others' experiences, and plan for supporting both thin and fat clients.
Thin clients are a server-centric computing model where the application software, data, and processing power are located on a central server rather than individual client devices. Thin clients access these centralized resources over a network, requiring only basic functionality locally. This allows for easier management, higher security since data is not stored locally, and lower costs since the clients have fewer components and upgrades are server-based.

This is a paper was written by David Reine, an IT analyst for The Clipper Group, and highlights IBM’s SAN Volume Controller new features, capabilities and benefits. These new capabilities were announced on October 20, 2009Virtualization is at the center of all 21st Century IT systems, yet many CIOs fail to fully understand all of the benefits it can deliver to the data center operation. When we think of virtualization, we think compute, network, and storage—and we mostly think about driving up utilization on each. Storage controllers have always offered the ability to carve out pieces of real storage from a large pool and deliver them efficiently to a number of hosts, but it is storage virtualization itself that offers improvements that drive operational efficiency. IBM has been quietly addressing storage virtualization with SAN Volume Controller (SVC) for the last six years, building up a significant technical lead in this space.
Strange but true: most infrastructure architectures are deliberately designed from the outset to need little or no change over their lifetimes. There are two main reasons for this:
1. Change often means outages and customer impact and must be avoided
2. Budgets are set at the beginning of a project and getting more cash later is tough
Typically, then, applications are configured with all of the storage capacity they need to support the wildest dreams of their business sponsors (and then some extra is added for contingency by IT). Equally, storage is always configured with the performance level (storage tier) set to cope with the wildest transactional dreams of the business sponsor (and guess what? IT generally adds a bit more for good measure.).
No wonder storage is now one of the largest cost components involved in delivering and running a business application.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
