This short article<\/a> is an interesting read.  The author discusses how UK CIO\u2019s feel virtualisation projects are not going to plan and aren\u2019t returning the expected savings.  VDI is pointed out.  Yeap, VDI is one that a lot of us misunderstood early on (including me).  I\u2019ve tried pricing it and it\u2019s definitely more expensive than PC\u2019s.  The management needs are at least the same if not slightly more.  But it does offer some advantages in niche areas over Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services is too unclear now because it refers to both VDI and Terminal Services) and traditional PC\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Planning seems to be a problem.  That\u2019s nothing new in IT.  The problem here is too few organisations hire the right people or bring in the right consultants.  Way too often consultants over state their skills and hiring managers hire the wrong people.  Like the old saying states: you can\u2019t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.<\/p>\n

Virtualisation is complex and diverse.  It has to be thought of as a vertical foundation that becomes the bedrock for many types of IT and business application that will rest upon it.  When you have a shaky foundation, you have a shaky business.  Get it right and everything resting on it has a chance to succeed.<\/p>\n
