 No, sorry. Within 90 days after GA for Windows Server 2012 was the official 
 word, I believe.

 Hey list.
 
 We're just starting to re-visit desktop virtualization. Here's a simple 
 question for you:
 
 What the difference between Citrix's VDI-in-a-Box vs traditional VDI 
 solutions? Opinions on where it fits in Desktop Virtualization are welcome.

RE: VDI in a Box?

2012-11-12 Thread Ryan Finnesey
We keep getting conflicting   information.I feel they do not understand the 
EA/custom licensing agreement  and the fact we are trying BYOD.  they cannot 
seem to understand there is no corporate desktop in the mx so there is no SA 
benefit we can use.  The good news is that we do not need to focus on VDI till 
Dec/Jan  right now the focus is CRM but it would be nice to budget for VDI now.

We're just starting to re-visit desktop virtualization. Here's a simple

What the difference between Citrix's VDI-in-a-Box vs traditional VDI 
solutions? Opinions on where it fits in Desktop Virtualization are welcome.

Mostly around Microsoft licensing for VDI and the VDA subscription and CSL

determine if it will add value.

Re: VDI in a Box?

2012-11-06 Thread James Rankin
Ease of deployment and expansion. If you use the Dell stuff along with
VDI-In-A-Box, you basically just buy what you need, stand it up and add
more as necessary. It's dead easy to get it set up and running - hence the
name.

However - there is currently no migration process between the higher-end
VDI solutions that Citrix offer (XenDesktop) and VDI-In-A-Box. So if you
start with VIAB and decide you need the better management tools and
features of XenDesktop, you'd have to rip VIAB out and start again. But
VIAB is not just for small deployments and XenDesktop for large ones - it
just depends on the features you require. I've seen big deployments of VIAB
and small implementations of XenDesktop.

It really depends on how complex you envisage your VDI infrastructure
getting. If you are deploying a standard image and don't need a lot of
persistent desktops, VIAB may fit your needs well. It's ridiculously easy
to add more grids and expand the deployment. But there's also a price
difference to take into account that may or may not be suitable for you
dependent on other Citrix licenses you may possess.

I think Citrix should have a matrix of features between the two somewhere.
This may give you an overview of these two and some others as well

Re: VDI in a Box?

2012-11-06 Thread James Rankin
One final point - don't forget that XenApp (traditional Citrix, as it
were) can provide a lot of the VDI features through a published desktop.
I've seen many places looking at VDI solutions that didn't consider
published desktops in XenApp. A lot of these implementations didn't need
VDI (either VIAB or XenDesktop) - XenApp ticked most of the boxes they
required, and it worked out considerably cheaper.

looked at their VDI-in-a-Box solution?

I would try my best to somehow justify the price difference to get either VM

Now we have the exact opposite experience.  We were feeding 3-4 sessions over 
DSL for over a year and it worked just fine.  DSL on both ends, which means we 
only had about 1 meg upload speed.  Now that we have 50/25 fiber at the 
mothership it's that much better.  I even have engineers using CAD apps on 
view desktops remotely in a pinch.  And we're sill running 4.6.

I have never used the Symantec solution, but XenDesktop and View are the most 
popular. However for a small amount of users the complexity of XenDesktop is 
quite high. VDI-in-a-box is the less complex Citrix solution, but as yet there 
is no easy upgrade path from VIAB to Xen should you need it.

Brian Madden's website has some good comparisons of VDI products and other 
virtualisation software.

If you already have VMware in your backend, they make pricing very
competitive. Especially for the number of desktops you're planning on
deploying.

Disclaimer: The thought of a Symantec product doing VDI just seems to leave
a bad taste in my mouth. But that's just my own biased opinion based on no
prior information or experience with the product or its capabilities at all.

I agree, Harry.  I'd like to justify using View. We haven't got a quote on it 
yet so a lot depends on how close it is to the Symantec solution.

I don't know a thing about CWS and I know you mentioned Citrix but have you 
looked at their VDI-in-a-Box solution?
http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/product.asp?contentID=2316437

I would try my best to somehow justify the price difference to get either VM 
and Citrix as those two players seem to very active in the VDI space. Which 
ultimately means easier integration and better support, community or otherwise, 
for you.

What kind of thin clients are you using at the desktop? Are you using
vcenter to deploy updates and patches to the View desktops? All 400
desktops are on a LAN or do you have some connecting via WAN?

RE: VDI

2011-12-14 Thread Garcia-Moran, Carlos
+1 on View, we have about 75 desktops (XP and W7) with the basic view client 
setup, Easy to deploy, configure and manage. It helps If you already have a 
vSphere infrastructure and knowledge in place, but you can get some pretty good 
deals on a view package.

Thx!

Re: VDI

2011-12-13 Thread Rankin, James R
I have never used the Symantec solution, but XenDesktop and View are the most 
popular. However for a small amount of users the complexity of XenDesktop is 
quite high. VDI-in-a-box is the less complex Citrix solution, but as yet there 
is no easy upgrade path from VIAB to Xen should you need it.

Brian Madden's website has some good comparisons of VDI products and other 
virtualisation software.
