Thin clients catch VDI for VMware access

John Griffin

It just doesn't scale

We have sunk considerable time and effort into VDI. The concept is great, particularly in blended solutions of Citrix, VDI and CCI.One of our customers has even deployed it in anger.

The problem is, that i just does not scale. The hardware requirements on the back end are totally ridiculous, it's probably cheaper to buy each user a PC and buy a complete managment suite and hire extra engineers to maintain them.

Getting only 6 users per CPU Core is hopeless.
