What hardware do I need to deploy a VDI platform?

To implement a desktop virtualization platform some minimum components at hardware level are necessary. The essential requirements are a server infrastructure, a network architecture, storage and client devices:

-Server Infrastructure. It consists of the necessary servers with enough processing and physical memory capacity for hosting the hypervisor layer, which will assign the necessary hardware resources to the virtual desktops.

-Network electronics. This will allow for interconnection between the different platform
components. Network architecture for a VDI platform can be very complex, so it’s crucial that these components are of the highest quality.

Converged vs hyper-converged infrastructures

Converged vs hyper-converged infrastructures

What are the main differences between hyper-converged and converged infrastructures?

The main difference is that hyper-converged infrastructures are defined by software and completely transparent. In this type of infrastructure, components cannot be separated in the same way as in the converged ones, but they are more flexible and customizable.

The flexibility of hyper-converged infrastructures makes them more scalable and cost-effective, because you can add, for example, more storage blocks as needed. In the converged ones, this option isn’t possible, since it is necessary to add whole packages, what makes them more expensive.
