[OPLINTECH] EMC's Chuck Hollis on VDI.

[JKENZIG]

Chuck Hollis of EMC (VMWare) has written an article recently on where he
feels Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is going.  A VDI is an entire
virtualized desktop that is run on the VMWare server that is accessed by
multiple users.  A good example of where it would be useful would be say
like a training room where you could have multiple versions of desktops
with different apps installed.  This is worth reading and definitely
worth checking out the links he mentions in the article. 

A small library could leverage this technology for example keep their
workstations longer and easily do change management for updates.
Virtualization hypervisors are going to be built into servers with deals
Citrix and VMWare have made with HP/Dell and Microsoft making HyperV for
Server 2008.  It will be important for administrators to follow this
technology. And don't be fooled, it's not just a "Windows thing" Linux
desktops are being virtualized.
