A common selling point of Citrix and similar solutions to the CEO is that by centralizing and sharing resources (CPU, RAM, etc.), we can save money on redundant, unused capacity - on most user workstations, the process which clocks the most CPU time is 'Idle', after all!
You can guess the rest of that story.
- Spooky23 4y agoNah. VDI is in many environments the biggest compute system in the datacenter. Peoples work patterns are very consistent so there typically isn’t much slack. The top issues with VDI are memory availability and profile management. As CPU improvements stopped, apps are memory hogs. With a modern Microsoft stack, even basic users run Outlook, Teams and Chrome. Outlook is usually caching too much, so your virtual desktop with OST stored on a shitty NAS somewhere is essentially a really really awful single user Exchange server.
- wolverine876 4y ago> Nah. What is that in response to? You're saying VDI isn't slow and underresourced for many people? Perhaps that's not your experience, but does that mean it's not the experience of others? Are you saying that VDIs aren't sold that way to CEOs? I've seen it and the underresourced results multiple times.
