What's holding Desktop Virtualization back?

Another hold-up to desktop virtualization: We often see companies still in the "have to POC" virtual desktops stage because they have heard rumors of slow performance or application incompatibility. At vmSight we offer a tool to measure performance, connectivity, and access control of virtual desktops that can provide the assurance of performance that most are looking for in these POCs and ultimately in their implementations.

Since most virtualization engineers have mostly been focused on servers and not desktops, the concern of having users calling them because of desktop performance issues is something they are avoiding and often crosses internal departmental boundaries.; Posted by: mtmoeller@...
