This is not a short or simple VDI tutorial. Lets VDIfy Our Systems gets to the heart of Vitual Desktop Infrastructure, taking a complicated concept and breaking it down for easier digestion.Basically, VDI is designed to deliver full desktop environments hosted on remote servers. The software lets you run MULTIPLE virtual machines on ONE physical machine, with each virtual machine sharing the resources of that one physical computer. The author explains it much better, trust me. He gives a complete history of the technology (paramount to understanding), takes an honest look at the pros and cons of implementing VDI from a corporate and IT perspective, and offers a fair comparison of those companies who provide the software. He explains Persistent VDI (greater personalization) and Non-Persistent (no storage issues), and also shows how cloud computing compares to desktop virtualization.The author calls this a guide, I call it an encyclopedic manual. Extremely well-written, hits every point needed to understand VDI, and is a definite must-read for corporations who want the truth about how this software may or may not take their business to the next level.
