Yesterday marked the first in our bi-weekly series of technical webinars on Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), aptly named "Get your GeekOn with Ron." In Session 1, virtualization expert and industry veteran Ron Oglesby told all there is to know about server design in VDI environments. Ron tackled the topics of server CPU selection, desktop-to-core guesstimation, memory, local storage options, ...

One of the most interesting things I get to deal with at Unidesk is the integration and testing of different storage solutions for VDI. Local SAS, Local SSD, FusionIO, iSCSI SAS, NFS, etc etc.   It’s been a ton of fun simply because there are so many disk configuration options out there and lots to learn about each one.

Hawaii is one of my favorite places in the world, having visited all of the islands on many occasions. So when I saw the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) Honolulu chapter is focusing its November presentation on "What You Need to Know About Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)," the temptation to buy a ticket from BOS to HNL was almost too much to resist.

A full seminar dedicated...

A few months ago, we sent a 16 page survey to more than 5,000 enterprise desktop administrators to validate our understanding of the desktop administrators' world and verify our approach to virtual desktop management. We clearly struck a chord, because the response rate far exceeded our expectations. So we're going to share the survey results with you over the next weeks in our blog. Be sure to bookmark...
