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

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

We're using GE Centricity in our practices and went with VMware View for our desktops. So far we're very pleased with it, running about 400 desktops now. It sure makes doing updates and patches and whole lot easier and faster. We can re-deploy all of the desktops in just a few hours. Thanks

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.
