HP On Desktop Virtualization (VDI)
Tuesday, 28 November 2006 by Michel Roth
SearchServerVirtualization talked to Paul Miller and Douglas Strain of HP to discuss the cost savings, implementation challenges and security issues involved in desktop virtualization (VDI).

"The thin client promised an end to fat desktops – but it didn't deliver. Desktop virtualization will make the dream of saving time and money on desktop management come true, say HP industry standard server (ISS) executives Paul Miller and Douglas Strain. The difference between managing a virtualized desktop and standard desktop is like night and day. Think about the difference between rolling out an application or an update to 100 individual desktops or doing the same job on a single blade server, say Miller and Strain, HP's ISS marketing vice president and software product marketing manager, respectively. In this interview, the HP duo discusses the cost savings, implementation challenges and security issues involved in desktop virtualization. SearchServerVirtualization.com talked to Strain and Miller on the heels of HP's introduction of its Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), an amalgam of HP hardware, service and management software and VMware's VDI."
