  Virtual desktops could overload WANs, warns expert
Time: 08:51 EST/13:51 GMT | News Source: TechWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) projects could come unstuck if implementers treat them as just another flavour of server-based computing, a WAN acceleration expert has warned.

Ofa Bezalow, Expand Networks' services VP, said that although VDI - which gives each user their own virtual PC, hosted on a server in the datacentre - uses the same RDP and ICA remote access protocols as Terminal Services, its bandwidth demands are much higher because its usage profile is quite different.

Where Terminal Services is typically used to deploy task-specific applications or capabilities, VDI is all about providing the full capability of a desktop PC, he explained.
