Hi, Just wondered if anyone has come across desktop virtualisation? This is where the client logs on using RDP (through a thin client), and once they enter in their username and password, they are given their own desktop image, which is manipulated through the thin client. Products which currently are doing this include Vmware Ace - http://www.vmware.com/products/ace and Citrix Xen Desktop http://www.citrix.com/xendesktop4 These products are replacing the traditional terminal services/Citrix Presentation server model for regular thin client users in for example call centres and secure environments. I was looking at these products last week at a reference site, and so far as I can tell, we lose the virtual channel between the remote desktop and the machine, because the RDP connection is going through the virtual desktop server, which gives the user access to the correct image. There seems to be strong sound support however, so we could get at the system that way. There are also agents that can be deployed on the machine connecting to the desktop server, that facilitates higher graphics support and other features. Just wondered if anyone has any experience with this type of system? Thanks. Andrew. -- 98% of our clients would recommend us Client Survey Jan 2010 Registered in England No. 02933191. UK VAT Reg.
