The New VDI Reality E-Book Chapter 4: VDI Performance and the User Experience

Cover Image

One of the realities of VDI that applies regardless of whether you’re using shared or 1-to-1 disk images is the fact that with VDI, your users’ desktops are “remote.” (That could be in your datacenter, a hosting provider’s datacenter, or in the cloud. In each case, the desktops are running in one place while your users are in another.)

This model is conceptually no different than the Remote Desktop Server-Based Computing (RDSH) technology that a lot of companies have been using since the 1990s. We collectively refer to these as “desktops in the datacenter” technologies, since the challenges of remote Windows desktop computing are the same regardless of whether the user is connecting to VDI or RDSH. Again, there are specific scenarios where VDI makes more sense than RDSH and vice versa.

The fourth chapter of Brian Madden’s, “The VDI Reality” e-book, takes a look at the general challenges of putting a desktop in a datacenter—challenges which apply to both VDI and RDSH. 

Learn how to mitigate these challenges, both in terms of protocols, networking bandwidth, hardware-accelerated graphics, and the user experience in general.
