VDI and Unidesk Hot Topics at Wisconsin VMware Users Group

Unidesk sponsored last week's Wisconsin VMware Users Group meeting in Madison, with Ron Oglesby presenting "Implementing VMware View and VDI - Strategies for Success." Over 100 people attended, indicating the strong interest in desktop virtualization, and the need for help when implementing a VDI access solution such as View.

Ron's discussion of the user adoption, management, and storage challenges struck a chord with the 10% who said they had already implemented VDI, the 40% who are currently in pilot, and the rest who are thinking about it.

Here are a few of the tweets:

@timcurless Really great and entertaining VDI preso from @RonOglesby! Very applicable to what we're doing. Thanks Ron and @wivmug

@EricSelje I will sit through just about anything to win an iPad, but that was *great* content yesterday. I learned a ton.

@banksz This last one probably would have come in handy as we are considering attempting to implement View

@nelmedia Another great WI VMUG yesterday. Great to see you again Ron & thx to @Unidesk for the iPad giveaway.

Congratulations to Nathan Scheunnaman of Wonderbox who was the lucky winner of our iPad give away.

Big thanks to Rod Gabriel (@ThatFridgeGuy), WI-VMUG leader, for inviting us and for his feedback on Ron's session: "Overall, among the best overall quality of all presentations. I got a lot of very good feedback from attendees. I'd be happy to work with you again and would recommend you to any other VMUG looking for sponsors that provide quality content."

And thanks to all who attended, especially those who have already downloaded Unidesk and are starting to pilot us with VMware View!
