Hardware recommendations for VDI

Hardware recommendations for VDI

Organizations considering adopting VDI should pay special attention when choosing the hardware to deploy its desktop virtualization platform, since the performance of the virtual desktop is directly linked to the performance of the underlying hardware.

First of all,you should make sure that the hardware is certified to work with the VDI software. Some of the major providers perform tests with several hardware components to ensure that they work correctly with their VDI software.

The benefits of VDI for universities

The benefits of VDI for universities

Educational environments must take advantage of advances in technology and, at the same time, adapt to the new habits of students, teachers and administrative staff.

The proliferation of the use of mobile devices and the advantages in terms of management, costs saving, availability, flexibility, and accessibility make desktop virtualization an interesting option to take into account for universities, since it also makes more easy the management and deployment of workstations.

From a technological point of view, the BYOD trend (Bring Your Own Device) increasingly associated to the A3 concept: anytime-anywhere-anydevice (access your job from anywhere, at anytime and from any device) makes virtual desktop technology (VDI) to be studied as a possible alternative to the current corporate physical equipment in the University environment.

Hyper-converged storage systems for VDI

Hyper-converged storage systems for VDI

Hyper-converged storage systems are emerging as an ideal option for a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), since they allow providers to manage all configuration options. The system can be preconfigured with the type of storage and adequate networks, so virtual desktops work properly. In addition, having a single contact for support also facilitates the work of the administrator.

In this type of storage, all parts of the system are designed to work together and they are optimized for a specific type of virtualization (server virtualization or VDI). This makes it fairly simple to start with a small pilot and then update it and expand it to support the entire organization.
