VDI Design Guide
10. September 2008 by Tony.
I ran across this doc while reading about the Qumranet acquisition. If you new to VDI it’s not a bad place to start. Please keep in mind that it was published in January 08 so many companies offerings have changed or been acquired since then

Qumranet
10. September 2008 by Tony.
Last month I had the opportunity to kick the tires of Qumranet’s VDI offerering as well as the SpIcE protocol. I have to admit that the price and performace were rater intriguging, espesscially for a LAN based implementation such as a trading floor or hospitals.
Apparently I’m not the only person they impressesd as they just sold to RedHat for $107 M
