Along the lines of Virtualization Review editor Keith

post
inquiring as to whether readers should hold off on virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), I
think many organizations will pass on it -- for now. If you have not started
working with VDI in some capacity, you may want to.
I make this recommendation because I believe you will quickly find that VDI
requires much more of a planning process than the server-side counterparts. I
have been going through a couple of scenarios for a few VDI solutions, and it is
not as easy as it may seem. Do yourself a favor and take time to identify your
requirements, and make sure you think about the entire solution of endpoint
client or device, broker and hypervisor. This can help identify issues that may
or may not be addressed by VDI solutions as they are right now.
