ThinkVirt

This week at VMWorld 2011, I had the honor of being on SiliconAngle.TV, hosted by Stu Miniman (@stu).  The session was about the current state of the VDI market as well as some forward-looking thoughts.  I was extremely happy to sit alongside VDI Legend, Andre Leibovici (@andreleibovici) for this discussion as we talked about what Andre is seeing from a former VMware and now EMC perspective, and what I’m seeing from a MicroTech perspective.  The video is posted below, but some of the topics discussed were:

• SiliconAngle.TV - Peer Incite: Desktop Virtualization
• The Inability of VMware or Citrix to deliver true Multi-Tenant VDI
• My fondness of EVGA Zero Clients (as opposed to their more expensive Wyse counterparts, for example)
• Using Tablet Devices as VDI End Points
• The New Multi-Tenant PCoIP Zero Client Solutions from ClearCube, implemented by #MicroTechVDI
• VMware dominance with View in the US Federal Market
• VMware Horizon
• MyVirtualCloud.Net - VDI Calculator
• #MicroTechVDI - Secure VDI Solutions

I had a great time on the program and would like to thank Stu for having us and orchestrating a fun conversation, and Andre for his wealth of knowledge.

Side note: My title should read VCDX #54.
