Virtualization Trends in 2010 & Beyond: Experts Weigh In
Executives are weighing in on what to expect next year in server and desktop virtualization, cloud computing, OS virtualization, I/O virtualization, network virtualization, storage virtualization and more.
If you haven’t seen it already, David Marshall is running a fantastic series about Virtualization/Cloud predictions in 2010 on his virtualization blog, VMblog.com.
Executives are weighing in on what to expect next year in server and desktop virtualization, cloud computing, OS virtualization, I/O virtualization, network virtualization, storage virtualization and more.
We offered our thoughts which are anchored in the game-altering impact new RDP protocols, including VMware View 4, XenDesktop 4, RDP 7 and SPICE are having on the marketplace.
While Citrix ICA and Windows Terminal Services clearly have the deepest market penetration, the high-powered technologies of PCoIP and others, coupled with advanced thin client hardware, can deliver users true PC experiences – on everything from YouTube videos to CAD engineering programs – in a virtual desktop.
It will be interesting to see the adoption in the industry now that some of these performance barriers will be broken – we think it’s the future of alternative desktop computing.

We are VMware people. WE are currently working on a view 4 project proposal where MACs must be supported. DO you see the DevonIT PC client bundled in a virtual box image NAT’d to the local host that would boot to your pcoip client and appear to just provide a login screen to View.
Your Thoughts…
