Topic: Desktop Virtualization Strategies and Options

Presenter: Jeff Kistler

VDI performance has gradually improved over the last several years, and with the onset of COVID-19 pandemic this year (2020), desktop virtualization has resurfaced as a viable alternative to on-premise computing. Many organizations and educational institutions have found themselves in unprecedented circumstances where nearly 100% of their workforce has been forced into isolation, utilizing telework and remote collaboration offerings to sustain business and educational functions. With such a high demand, desktop virtualization is now being considered by organizations around the world as an alternative to working on site. The objective of this study is to determine what infrastructure options exist today, and what factors should organizations consider when choosing the best path forward.
