VMWare, Citrix and the Growth of Desktop Virtualization


Desktop Virtualization continues to grow in popularity. Solutions provided by developers are becoming ever more sophisticated, with companies such as VMWare, Citrix and Microsoft leading the way.

VMWare, Citrix and Approaches to Virtualization

There are several common approaches to virtualization from VMWare, Citrix and other leading developers. Which you choose will depend on your business, but the most popular include:

·         Application-based virtualization – applications and resources are bundled together, rather than being tied to a desktop. You can reduce changes to operating systems and minimize the risk of conflicting applications.
·         User state virtualization – this links configuration settings and data, and stores it on a server. This can then be accessed by any user on the network, allowing them to continue work, uninterrupted.
·         Session virtualization - derived from the thin client model. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an extension of this idea.
