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”
