Whether you’re currently evaluating VDI or have a full scale deployment your input would be greatly appreciated.

It’s a simple 9 question survey about your experiences. Ideally and depending on response; I plan on following up with a more detailed survey next month perhaps detailing Citrix; VMware and hybrid designs.

Also once completed you’ll be able to see the results.

Thanks again,

Tony

Project Independence

The face of desktop computing will change fundamentally over the next few years. Enterprises have long struggled to meet user demands for flexible computing while controlling costs, improving security and simplifying manageability. Achieving these goals requires the right technology as well as a shift in how IT and the user views desktop computing.

Project Independence is a strategic product initiative with partners like Intel, focused on local virtual desktops. We are working together to deliver on our combined vision for the future of desktop computing. Here are our predictions for how desktop computing will change:

• Prediction #1 – Your company will no longer own your laptop (go ahead, buy that cool new computer)
• Prediction #2 – Your company will spend more on coffee and office supplies than it does on desktop management
• Prediction #3 – You will access your corporate desktop from whatever device is most convenient at the time (just like you do with email today)
• Prediction #4 – You will switch back and forth between work and personal desktops on the same device, without thinking twice
• Prediction #5 – You will never complain about your PC being too slow again

Watch Sumit Dhawan, Vice President, Product Marketing introduce these five predictions and how they will impact the future of desktop computing: http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/feature.asp?contentID=1685500
