I think I\u2019ve talked about how VDI makes no financial sense<\/a> once or twice before.  The Register has a story<\/a> on how Gartner has analysed the costs of implementing and owning VDI.  Long story short: it costs as much if not more (I say much more) than buying and owning PCs.  The reason to implement VDI isn\u2019t simplified management, it isn\u2019t reduced costs.  It is the side effects of centralisation such as easier data access and stricter security.  <\/p>\n
