What software do I need to deploy a VDI platform?

Earlier this week we published a post explaining the minimum hardware components required to deploy a VDI platform. Today we focus on the software components we may have:

-Hypervisor Software. The software that is installed on the server infrastructure and that is responsible for assigning memory, processing, network and disk resources to the virtual machines hosted on the platform.

-Virtual image machine or golden image. Virtual machine with the necessary OS and applications installed in order to perform a subsequent deployment of the virtual desktops based on this image.

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.
