Common desktop “slicing” methods

POOLED DESKTOPS

1 “Golden” OS image for all users

USER VIRTUALIZATION

Separately storeduser profile

and

APPLICATION VIRTUALIZATION

Separately stored packaged applications

and

DIFFERENTIAL DISKS

One “delta image” for each user

and

Deployment time, management overhead and hardware requirements

• Concept: use of many independent, shared and pooled resources

• Result: the more solutions you add – the harder it is to deploy and manage

To conclude…

Deploy random/floating pooled VDI and get dedicated-stateful benefits

Provide users with complete computing freedom

Easily flavor desktops without messy packaging and no runtime overheads

Separately manage desktop components in a modular fashion

Make VDI suitable for more demanding task types
