Will We Use Cloud-Based Virtual Desktops in 2020?

A desktop delivered from the cloud, accessible from everywhere, providing just the right amount of computing power for the task at hand, maintained by the cloud provider and paid for only when used - a dream? Or a commodity in ten years' time? Time will tell, but in the meantime let us find out if such a virtual wonder device is even possible.

Lizenzierung von Windows für VDI Umgebungen

 

Der 1. Juli steht bekanntlich immer für Neuerungen / Änderungen in vielen Bereichen. Bei Mircrosoft fängt nicht nur das neue Fiskaljahr an, es hat sich (mal wieder) auch einiges in der Lizenz- und Preispolitik getan.

Darum will ich heute mal ein wenig die derzeit vieldiskutierten VDI Umgebungen näher unter die Lupe nehmen. 

Wer heute in die aktuelle Preisliste guckt, wird feststellen, dass die Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (Windows VECD) und Windows VECD für Software Assurance (SA) nicht mehr verfügbar ist.

Does “Offline VDI” Make Sense?

In this article, I’d like to expand on this to explain my scepticism as to the applicability of VDI to mobile devices.
