VMworld Europe 2014 opened today in Barcelona. In this first day of one of the most outstanding virtualization and cloud computing events, VMware announced new products, program and service that add to the growing list of innovative solutions for end-user computing. Among them is VMware Horizon FLEX that will enable enterprises to centrally provision, manage and secure virtual desktops and applications running locally on Macs and PCs, using policy-based controls to more securely embrace bring your own (BYO) policies.
In addition, a new cloud service for desktop disaster recovery will allow organizations to protect their business and enhance workforce continuity, expansion of cloud hosted services in Europe will open opportunities for customers, and a new storage program will help customers quickly predict and control virtual desktop deployment costs at scale.
One of the most common mistakes when implementing a VDI project is to consider that it is exactly the same as server virtualization. Many companies adopt desktop virtualization after having successfully virtualized their servers, and they make mistakes.To prevent this, you should keep in mind the following points.
The behaviour of the virtual desktops in a datacenter and the profile of the staff who is going to use this technology is completely different from the usual one in a server environment, where the use of the servers is totally procedural. Thus, there are procedural issues regarding server virtualization but in the case of virtual desktops,these platforms are only operated by qualified technical staff.
