Quote:  “If you’re wondering what the future of the desktop will be, it is VDI.  There are a myriad of reasons that a virtual desktop infrastructure makes sense – there are of course hard cost savings and productivity gains to be made; but there is also the ease of management in a virtualized environment; centralized backups that ensure safety of data; and regulatory compliance, an important reason to look at VDI when preserving the integrity of your data is a critical business factor.  VDI will make a significant impact on the desktop of the future, but it’s not right for every user in every situation.  The key is to talk to experts and find out what VDI can do for you.” –  Jeff Nessen, practice director, platform virtualization solutions, Logicalis
