Take the VDI assessment and implementation survey
21. September 2009 by Tony.
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
