We're piloting a VDI deployment, and I just got blindsided by my server team. I'm looking for some ideas.
The VDI deployment has been "sold" to management with location based printing. "It slices, It dices, It knows where you are and will select the appropriate printer for you" This works all well and good in the labs and desktop replacements because it's all subnet based. If "Endpoint X is in Subnet Y, map Printer Z" This falls over with a tremendous bang when your using wireless. We're currently using Cisco Wireless, with a couple controllers, with all the access points tunneling the traffic back to the controllers. Means, without fail, almost everyone everywhere has the same address. Especially if you roam to another building, or a different part of big building. The next big push with VDI is moving to the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and the IPad users are lining up. So anyone using Cisco Wireless done any sort of location based printing on the wireless? We do own a location appliance. I know that new Aruba feature (AirGroup) is looking mighty tempting right now.
