license from Microsoft called a VECD license (on top of the windows license and
the vendors software cost) for each virtual workstation you want to run. Also
VDI will require server hardware for about every 20 to 40 workstations you want
to run. Provisioning you should only need a few servers depending on your band
width and number of branches. But you can get hundreds of sessions off of one
server. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I'm at the beginning stages of looking into this myself.
I've been looking at VMware's offering, VMware View (formerly VMware Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure). (<a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/view/">http://www.vmware.com/products/view/</a>)<br>
There is an eval download available. I believe that VMware does educational
pricing. Unfortunately, it's not available via Techsoup, though. I checked!<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Is anyone out there using desktop virtualization technologies?
We are already doing so for server virtualization, but I’m beginning
investigations into virtualization technologies for desktop use. Does
anyone have experience with this?<o:p></o:p></p>
