Do not compare desktop virtualisation to server virtualisation, they interact with hardware differentlyN t ll d kt b k thNot all desktop brokers are the sameNot all hypervisors are the sameUsers do not care how many servers you are not running because of this projectUsers want a better experience than they get nowGet desktop virtualisation wrong and everyone will know about itp g yGet server virtualisation wrong and only a pocket of people know about it

Desktop Interaction is different to Server Interaction with hardwareDesktop Interaction is different to Server Interaction with hardware


USERS: What they do, How they do it, When they do it


Firstly not all desktops are candidatesDon’t just ask the question how many users can I get on a box….Guess work is not an optionGuess work is not an optionObjective tests are criticalWork with the user, they need to feel part of the processCombination of technical and business consulting is needed to ensure successgPartially automated and partially manualThere is a big human element to VDI, don’t forget it.
