VDI makes sense!

VDI makes sense! If there is one fashionable word in the IT industry, it is “Virtualization”. Today we are virtualizing network, storage, hardware, desktops and applications. Desktop or workstation virtualization is getting increasingly more attention. Increasingly more people are wondering if they should choose Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Server Based Computing (SBC) or local desktops. Is VDI replacing SBC? Does SBC replace the local desktop? And how does application virtualization and OS streaming technology work in a VDI infrastructure? In this article, Ruben Spruijt will explain what VDI is, what the advantages are and of which components a VDI infrastructure consists so that there is a clear picture of VDI applications.

Application Virtualization with Thinstall

Thinstall is one of the great application virtualization solutions. I have created an article about this solution. This article is published in LanVision, a Dutch IT-Pro Magazine. Both the translated,English version, and the original Dutch article can be downloaded. Thinstall offers a solution by which Windows applications can be deployed on a client workstation without a local client/agent and without back end infrastructure. The applications are completely virtualized and can be, where necessary, even used from a removable storage medium. Thinstall offers an Application Virtualization platform with which Windows applications are offered as ‘self-contained” EXE files. These EXE files can be executed without any installation, Administrator or PowerUser rights.
