If so you can save a lot of money in infrastructure costs by using Terminal Services/XenApp.
In my opinion VDI is for special use cases and for applications that will not run in Terminal Services.īrian Madden did a great session on this at VMworld Europe 2009.Īny company currently looking at VDI should watch this session and first decide if Terminal Services would work for them. VDI is cool, hip and is in all of the industry news but it is very young and still evolving. Both technologies offer the same advantages and feature sets but Terminal Services/XenApp has a much cheaper per user cost and is a proven solution that has been around for 12 years. In my opinion you should first decide on whether or not you want to go with Terminal Services/XenApp or VDI. With all of these options available how is company ever to decide on which VDI solution to go with?
