D t d kt i t li ti t i t li tiDo not compare desktop virtualisation to server virtualisation, they interact with hardware differentlyNot all desktop brokers are the sameNot all desktop brokers are the sameNot all hypervisors are the sameUsers do not care how many servers you are not running because of this projectUsers want a better experience than they get nowG t d kt i t li ti d ill kGet desktop virtualisation wrong and everyone will know about itGet server virtualisation wrong and only a pocket of peopleGet server virtualisation wrong and only a pocket of people know about it

Fi l ll d k didFirstly not all desktops are candidatesDon’t just ask the question how many users can I get on a box….Guess work is not an optionObjective tests are criticalWork with the user, they need to feel part of the processCombination of technical and business consulting is needed to ensure successgPartially automated and partially manualThere is a big human element to VDI, don’t forget it.
