The future of Virtual desktops

Prediction: CIUS combined with Citrix XenDesktop running on Cisco UCS will be the most rapidly adopted Virtual Desktop platform ever!

Imagine: It’s a phone, Tablet, PC (via Citrix) Wifi, 4G and a corporate owned and managed asset. Effectively the CIUS device is to  Enterprise level companies what the IPad was to the consumer market.

Applications Capabilities:

  • 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G/4G data and Bluetooth 3.0 help employees stay connected on and off-campus.
  • HD video (720p) with Cisco TelePresence solution interoperability for lifelike video communication with the simplicity of a phone call
  • Virtual desktop client (Citrix Receiver) enables highly secure access to cloud-based business applications
  • Android operating system, with access Android marketplace applications
  • Collaboration applications including Cisco Quad, Presence, IM and integrated, one-click access to WebEx Meeting Center

Tablet Highlights:

  • 7” diagonal, high-resolution color screen with contact-based touch targets delivers an elegant, intuitive experience
  • HD media station supports Bluetooth and USB peripherals, 10/100/1000 wired connectivity and a handset option
  • Detachable and serviceable 8-hour battery for a full day of work
  • Highly secure remote connections with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
  • HD audio with wideband support (tablet, HD media station)

Get ready:

Terminal Services versus VDI: Brian’s presentation from VMworld Europe

Two years old but still very true. If more customers watched this video I would spend far less time on airplanes…

“In this presentation, I focus on when you’d use TS and when you’d use VDI. It’s important to note that I don’t talk about VDI versus traditional desktops or TS versus traditional desktops since in today’s world both TS and VDI are different forms of server-based computing (SBC). So in order to figure whether TS or VDI “wins” in your environment, you first need to figure out which applications can work via server-based computing. Then you can figure out which of those are most appropriate for VDI and which are most appropriate for TS”
