While picking a broker may be difficult -and is a key decision in selection of the various desktop virtualization products - VMware has bundled an all-in-one solution it is calling VDI that includes VMware Infrastructure v3 and VDM, with RDP access to the VMs.īut, while the products and capabilities are packaged together, the capability itself is still more a concept than a single product. Once more, this depends entirely on the broker chosen. Next on my list of important items is the access to the VMs through the broker, how is that security achieved? Using pre-shared keys? Standard SSL, or whatever RDP and Windows normally provides. This site does not review the Linux Virtual Server, or FreeNX solutions however.) (This comparison of most of these products is well worth a read. The broker to use could be VMware Desktop Manager (VDM), Linux Virtual Server, Citrix Desktop Server, Citrix XenDesktop, Provision Networks VAS, Leostream CB, FreeNX() or a NoMachine Server, Clearcube Sentral, and Ericom PowerTerm. ![]() Some other clients are VNC, or RDP or VNC over Secure Shell Tunnels. VMware Horizon supports both Cloud and on-premises virtualization models. If you are looking for a robust platform for your VDI software with additional tools to seamlessly meet your business and IT needs, then VMware Horizon is the solution. ![]() The client that gives end users access to the VMs is usually the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) but the client is generally dictated by the broker being used. is the first commercial company to successfully develop virtualization. There are several ways to fill each of these components. VDI consists of four basic components: a client to access the Virtual Machines (VMs), a broker to direct the clients to the appropriate VMs, the virtualization server, and the VMs that are used as the desktop. ![]() The VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is more a concept than a distinct product -the concept being the ability host multiple desktops within a virtualization server, which currently requires more than just one product to accomplish. ![]()
