Five Secrets for Successfully Virtualizing Desktops
Planning and implementing the virtualization of desktops is a challenge, but the result can be cost savings, greater productivity, and a happier work force that has the flexibility to work when, where, and with devices they wish to use.
These five “secrets” to virtualizing desktops will greatly increase the chance of a successfully VDI implementation. It is very important to plan for this; to balance the hardware environment to handle not just average but peak load; to properly size storage, not just for capacity, but for performance as well; to minimize the number of base images so that the costs of maintaining each can also be minimized; to accept and embrace the fact that people will connect with a wide variety of devices, and to create a plan to accommodate as many of these devices as is feasible at the lowest cost.
