Whoa. A topic on BrianMadden.com about BrianMadden.com. That's so meta. What happens if I link it to? Will Google explode?

As the popularity of desktop virtualization increases, the popularity of BrianMadden.com increases. This is great, except Gabe and I are pulled in a lot of different directions and there's definitely more work than we can handle. But we're both...

On November 20, 2008, Gabe and I wrote that The Brian Madden Company had been acquired by TechTarget . It's hard to believe it's been a year already, although it's cool that I finally know most of my coworkers' names. In the past year...

Last week we started an experiment where we're publishing audio version of our daily articles in a sort of daily podcast. These are "real" audio versions, with Gabe or me actually recording ourselves explaining the articles. We attach the...

It's been three months since Gabe and I joined TechTarget . So far we're finding that what we'd hoped would happen is indeed happening, namely, that we're both able to spend more time focusing on understanding and writing about the desktop...

Last night I was thinking about something I'd written last week. In a conversation about what is or isn't "VDI," I wrote about how the term "VDI" was evolving to what I called "VDI+", but that in five years it wouldn't...

This will be my last post. I'm not going to write about strategy or anything else, but more of a way to let you all know that it has been great writing content for Brian and Gabe. Back in May, Brian asked me to take what I was doing on my old blog...

One of the best things about being part of TechTarget is that Gabe and I can spent a lot more time writing. In the very old days (of 2003), I did a fair amount of honest-to-goodness products reviews. We haven't really done too many (if any?) of these...

Is virtual desktop infrastructure old wine in new bottles?! Will this still be the case in 2010?
If there is just one buzzword in the IT industry, then it is “virtualization.” Nowadays we virtualize the network, storage, hardware, desktops and applications. Desktop or workspace virtualization is an application that is gaining in importance.
This form of virtualization can, in essence, be divided into to parts: “server-hosted” and “client-side.” The type of desktop virtualization that is receiving the most attention is “server-hosted.”
More and more organizations are asking themselves whether they must choose between Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI), Server-Based Computing (SBC) or local desktops. Questions that arise include: Will VDI replace the SBC concept? What are the pros and cons of VDI? What role do application virtualization and OS streaming play in the overall concept?...

The “Application and Desktop Delivery solutions” diagram has been developed in order to be able to provide a complete overview of the various applications and desktop delivery solutions. This article was written by Ruben Spruijt in order to introduce the highlights of the delivery solutions in 30 minutes. There are so many delivery solutions that the functionalities can be confused through incomplete knowledge. The point of this article is not to describe all of the application scenarios or the technical advantages or disadvantages, but purely as a high level, vendor dependent overview of the start of technology in the applications and desktop delivery segment. Hopefully this overview will be helpful!...

"Tomorrow's news today" that's BriForum 2008. Together with 20 other speakers I joined the BriForum crew this year. It's really an honor to be part of this impressive list of awesome experts and it's great to learn from these guys!
This year I gave three presentations: Hyper-V unleashed, Streaming Smackdown 2008 Edition and Top10 challenges with SoftGrid (and other application virtualization solutions). These presentations can be downloaded from Virtuall, hopefully that makes sense!
