The theme is move work to a more optimal place.<\/p>\n
We were going to get a demo of a Citrix client on an iPad but the projector interface just woulldn\u2019t work. Guess it\u2019s dodgy hardware \ud83d\ude09 OH you know the fanboys will flame me over that.<\/p>\n
XenClient<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n 72% of corporate machines will be laptops. Synchronized VDI VM\u2019s will be critical. Citrix launched XenClient, a client hypervisor. Question\/Comment: There are only a few models of computer that have support for the client hypervisor. I guess it is monolithic. No AMD support. The adoption rates of this will be quite limited without massively expanding the supported hardware list.<\/p>\n Synchronizer allows you to check out a VDI VM to your laptop running XenClient. Nice. Imagine that with OVF \u2013 could check out a VM to any client virtualization then \u2013 assuming OVF support in all products.<\/p>\n XenClient can passthrough the graphics card for 3D. This is experimental and only supports 1 VM at a time. <\/p>\n CItrix pitch the idea of the user having a public and private VM. Good luck with that. A user will not do that. They\u2019re either too lazy, will forget or find it to be a waste of time. Another idea is that the user can supply their own laptop and a corporate build VM can go onto it. Uh uh! THe hardware list is too limited, mainly to pricey h\/w I guess, and end users will bring non-supported hardware in. Also, the drive will be wiped when a XenClient will be done. A P2V must be done before hand of the user\u2019s build because thew will have an OEM install with no media, not to mention their personal data. There will be a compliance issue regarding access and retainment of that P2V image on the corporate network.<\/p>\n Nice idea \u2013 but it needs to be a complete solution that is fully thought out. I don\u2019t believe it is anywhere near that yet, based solely on what I am hearing here<\/p>\n XenApp 6<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Windows applications on demand, anywhere. Out since March. Dazzle provides serlf0service apps. HDX provides \u201cRealTime\u201d and plug\u2019n\u2019play. We may see some System Center integration.<\/p>\n FlexCast for Apps is a streaming solution including support for services. A next release may include support for streaming drivers.<\/p>\n HDX provides USB PNP, 3D graphics, etc. <\/p>\n NetScaler VPX<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n I guess VPX is their network traffic optimisation solution?<\/p>\n NetScaler VPX for Hyper-V will run as a service for Hyper-V to accelerate it. Hmm, interesting.<\/p>\n Virtual Appliances<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Workflow Studio, XenApp EVA and XenDesktop EVA are appliances that are based on Hyper-V.<\/p>\n XenServer 5.6<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Citrix have 11% of the market share.<\/p>\n I see XenServer for the very first time. It appears to have something like Dynamic Memory: minimum and maximum RAM setting per VM. No shared paging in XenServer \u2013 the response to a question from a VMware user I guess.<\/p>\n The theme is move work to a more optimal place.
