Hyperconvergence breathes new life into desktop virtualization
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is one of those tantalizing technologies that looks great on paper, but hasn’t gained much traction over the years for a variety of financial, technical, cultural, even philosophical reasons.
However, a relatively new framework called hyperconvergence, which combines compute, storage and networking in a single data center appliance, could breathe new life into VDI by reducing the cost and complexity associated with a VDI rollout.
The argument in favor of VDI, also known as desktop virtualization or thin-client computing, makes perfect sense.
