I listened last night to a presentation on Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI). Interesting thoughts from Chris Horton from Yorel (www.yorel.com). He discussed the history of moving from "green screens" to the current options of how and when to deploy virtual desktops. I'm not sure that I want to go back to mainframe types of services, but are the new solutions going to be the same? Chris reviewed the details and options, vendor agnostic, and covered what would work best. There doesn't appear to be any Capex savings, only Opex savings. I don't see a large rush for people moving to virtual desktops. In a market where everyone is working to cut costs in both Capex and Opex, there needs to be a difinitive ROI and IRR in order to justify the expense or cost cut.
If anyone has good feedback on how they have implemented virtual desktops in the new VDI environment, I would love to hear what works and does not work.
