Brian Madden Interviews Citrix's Brian Nason And Sumit Dhawan About VDI And Project Trinity

Thursday, 21 December 2006 by Michel Roth

Brian Madden has interviewed Citrix's Brian Nason and Sumit Dhawan about VDI and Project Trinity: Project Trinity represents Citrix's entry into the virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI space. Citrix has a unique opportunity here since they've been delivering applications to users for years, and VDI is really nothing more than delivering the desktop as an application. In this conversation, we'll talk about Citrix's approach to VDI, the high-level architecture of Trinity, and how it fits into Citrix's larger application delivery strategy.

This show will answer questions such as:

� What is trinity specifically?
� How does Citrix's DDI (dynamic desktop initiative) differ from the more standard term VDI?
� What are the VDI/DDI benefits and how does Trinity deliver these?
� What technologies make trinity happen?
� How will trinity fit it to other solutions from other vendors?
� What is Citrix's overall application strategy, and how does trinity fit in?
� How Citrix will handle standard problems like printing, monitoring, management, etc.
� What is the trinity architecture? How does it tie in the other backend Citrix architectures?
� How will Citrix connect to an XP Workstation via ICA?
