I've been spending the last few weeks at customer sites helping our partners implement Unidesk. It's good to be in the field again participating in production VDI deployments. No surprise I end up getting involved in more than just Unidesk design - network, storage, thin clients, brokers, hypervisors, you name it. But that's for another blog.
