What is Desktop Virtualization and VDI?

[@AbunaiDesuYo1]

Actually, vSphere is the product family that contains both VMware ESXi...which is the hypervisor...and the VMware vCenter Server...which is the management software.

[@kgravikumar]

Nice. Would be nicer if you could share some more information on how CAD implementation on the VDI has not worked well.

[@thierry.lavallee]

Great, well explained. Thanks for keeping the quick pace and squeezing all this info in 20 mins.

[@phamhiepst]

just for noting 17:00 advantages and limitations of VDI

[@rathishag007]

11 years passed. Still its not widely implemented.

[@dapras]

holy crap imagine if my company converted over to VMware with a thin client on each desk...I would be out of a job lol

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Become a VDI admin

[@chinmingleong2791]

hey there, I'm new to the VDI. Can please show me how to configure the VDI by using VMware tools? I'm currently using the VMware Workstation 12, what else do I need to install to complete this VDI? Thank you so so much :)

[@iamagi]

You will need to trough a connection broker. The dektops that the broker direkts you to must have been created by the system you use, Citrix delivery console or vmware view so that the desktops are known by the broker. This way you get a centralised control panel where you manage the desktops and you can utilise technologies like linked clones where 5000 copes of a windows 7 installation does not take up much more space on the storage than one instance of windows 7

[@chadsexinton]

how to you setup the server to do this? I cant find any videos on how to do that.

[@hamzabeniffou9324]

Thanks a lot for this video ;) If you have a video about Horizon View on how it works, please feel free to shut up

[@papatizi]

you claim couple of times on this video that Vsphere is hypervisor, but not ! its management software and the hypervisior is Esxi....

[@chigozieokorie9447]

You have very good videos and training but talk too fast, it will be nice if you slow it down a bit :)

[@C4n4di4n1]

hi amazing tutorial !! good job ! i hope you do a lot more !! so i have Vm workstation v9 running and 1 server with esxi and win8 OS on it .. so if i get View client i can just remotly connect to that desktop from any thin client ?

[@RoyD2]

Great and clear introduction to VDI! Very well done!

[@mcorleone77]

this a great video!

[@exengineer1]

Agree, too, that it is incorrect to refer to the hypervisor as vSphere. ESXi is more appropriate.

[@mheljhunmadjus2958]

Please explain the concept

[@iamagi]

some of this was apparently covered a few seconds after i stopped my pause

[@muraleedharancholiyampadat8285]

Well explained, thank you

[@ttts8707]

that was brilliant introduction, thanks heaps!!

[@bonnypaul6877]

Thanks, this was well explained and well presented.

[@tohaveortobe]

Great video on Visualization in general. Very well put!

[@waseemahmed6064]

yes improved my knowledge

[@akkibabu6113]

Very nice

[@Ankush809]

Such a gr8 video

[@aadancade]

Thanks dude. This is great.

[@santoshgopal1535]

yup

[@exengineer1]

Good info, but yes, the speaker talks WAY TOO FAST! It was hard to keep up and appreciate what he was saying. After a few minutes, I literally got a headache trying to absorb all the information. I just turned it off. Please, SLOW DOWN. This isn't an auction.

[@LollipopQueenScene]

tony lizzerri youtube allows you to control the speed of every video

VDI takes the already poor non-virtualized windows desktop experience and makes it worse by virtualizing or simulating the desktop environment then you add another layer of quality degradation by making the virtualization remote. That is VDI. It is remote windows desktop virtualization. Get a mac.

[@BenWGray]

It's an enterprise tool. Good luck pushing Macs in 90% of companies. Fanboyism isn't business case either.

[@MrApplewine]

Ben Gray They are better. You are right that they won't buy it because they are stupid. If it was my company though we would be using macs. I lose so much productivity without a mac and it just makes me want to leave the company.

[@axxoaxx288]

but with flash storage nowadays vdi is great. that what we are getting with industry response.

[@MrApplewine]

axxo axx My experience with VDI has been horrible. I've read articles that say that the security and administration benefits are not specific to VDI. The only benefit I see with virtualization is that you can buy a less powerful virtual account than the slowest modern PC. This allows the business to provide a worse user experience than a manufacturer would otherwise allow and thus the promise of a lower cost per user. However, in articles I've read they said that the cost savings claims are not true, but that may be compared to the worst performing PC one can buy, rather than a virtual account that is worse performing than the worst PC one can buy. I think if low cost/performance per user is desired then KVMgt type solutions would give better performance, but that technology is not complete and would likely require distributed computers, though shared. The advantage of KVMgt is that lower cost/performance per user can always be assigned than would otherwise be possible because of diminishing returns as one moves toward single board computers, which would of course be the other option at only about $100 per person.
