Desktop-Virtualization on Anything About IT

Podcast: The Proper Fit for Desktop Virtualization

Sun, 20 Feb 2011 13:46:20 +0000

Last week I had a week off and went snowboarding with my family. Meanwhile my kids go too fast that I could follow them and my wife is a bit more fanatic in skiing than I am with snowboarding, so this leaves me with some time where I can listen to all those podcasts one downloads but never finds the time to listen to. Since I am rather a newbie within the Citrix space, it happened that I ended up listening to a podcast that is already 2 years old. This podcast however did in so many ways confirm my personal thoughts about Desktop Virtualization that I think it’s worth mentioning it again for those that haven’t listened to it yet.

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization aka MED-V

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 17:04:00 +0000

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) is Microsoft’s new product offering for so-called local virtualization or client based virtualization. The solution itself originates from Kidaro that was acquired by Microsoft last year.

With local desktop virtualization a complete OS is executed on top of the operating system that is installed on the users physical device. Using a client based virtualization solution such as MED-V can help with application compatibility issues when migrating to a new operating system. With MED-V you can continue providing applications to your users in a seamless way without having the user notice that that application runs on another virtualized OS.
