Building a VDI infrastructure

Alex Mags

This seminar describes a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) using only open source software (and a Windows desktop OS). This is of course a crazy thing to attempt.  You’re more likely to pick an off-the-shelf products like VMware Horizon View or Citrix.  The most interesting aspect of this seminar is that it explains the components of a VDI infrastructure and the challenges in making an OS designed for local disk work well in a VDI environment and shared storage. BriForum conference is worth attending if you work with VDI and want real world advice instead of just a vendor sales pitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U52HyQTnkvs
