In late 2012 I wrote two articles: Why even consider VDI? the VDI “Capex vs. Opex” see-saw and Do you have design principles for VDI? How does VDI fit into your broader infrastructure strategy?. In the first article, I highlighted that the CapEx Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) focus is drowning out OpEx considerations and asked the question, “Why bother with VDI?” I built upon this in the second article and asked four key questions that I think guide people to success. I ended up discussing three of those questions and procrastinated answering the fourth question. This turned out to be a good thing because of technology evolution and some inspiration at Citrix Synergy in Los Angles in May 2013.
