Simplified VDI Architecture

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 02:11 PM PDT

There's a perception that VDI is complicated. I'm far from being a rocket scientist, and I've managed to implement many successful VDI projects over the past ten years. I truly believe that VDI is one of those things that is only as complicated as you make it. It's like saying that driving is complicated. You'd have to be crazy [or very brave] to take your first lesson in Manhattan…during rush hour. That's why your driving instructor starts you off on a quiet street. You need to know your boundaries. Being successful with VDI is the same - keep things simple to start with and slowly increase complexity at your own pace, when you're ready for it. This raises the question – what's the quiet street equivalent of a beginner's VDI architecture? It might not be the most optimized and efficient solution, but it would be quick to implement, do the job well and wouldn't require specialist knowledge or skills. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I'd like to share my thoughts.
