Description: This book recounts the original promise of VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) and why the reality fell short. It shows how to step back and figure out what problems we're really trying to solve, including when it makes sense to use desktop virtualization and VDI and when to stay with traditional desktops, and closes with a look at the world beyond Windows and what real steps we can take today to create the future enterprise desktop.
