Server virtualization is already a proven solution to many common business challenges today. Desktop virtualization introduces even greater opportunities for CapEx and OpEx savings.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) involves hosting a desktop operating system within a Virtual Machine running on a centrally located server. Multiple users access their individual ‘Virtualized’ desktops, each with its own operating system, peripherals and application programs from the server over a network.
An often overlooked complexity in VDI deployment is how the I/O infrastructure needs to adapt to the dynamic nature of the server-to-desktop I/O. Limitations of the existing I/O infrastructure in modern servers is a barrier to leveraging the full benefits of desktop virtualization.
VDI – empowered by Virtensys I/O Virtualization Appliances
