Our VDI strategy is very simple. Today a number of our customers are using terminal services and RDP for application specific and for the full desktop experience. Remember, Virtual Iron is focused on the SME and in many cases this is more than sufficient for their needs. See Chris Barclay's blog on more details on this.

Virtual Iron also works with different VDI brokers including 2X and Provision Networks. And we will work with others as well. A virtualization expert blogger, Virtualization.Info, wondered why we decided to work with 2X and the answer is simple - server virtualization is part of a bigger ecosystem and it's important to work with partners.

What we've seen is the last four months is a visible growth in the interest and implementation of desktop virtualization with Virtual Iron server virtualization software. It is quickly becoming a common and frequent part of our universe.

We've been asked on more than one occassion if we are a VDI company. I'm not sure what that really means. So I am going to say the answer is no - we are a server virtualization company and our customers use our server virtualization solution to host virtual desktops. We enable customers to implement VDI and it is a use case for our server virtualization solution. Our customers use our server virtualization for file, web, email, database, etc - and desktop virtuallization.

We have a number of customers that are using Virtual Iron server virtualization as a part of their VDI implementation. As I stated above, through terminal services and RDP or by leveraging a connection broker ala 2X and Provision Networks. It is important to look through the SME lens and what you should see is that they need solutions that are easy and cost effective. And that is exactly what we do.
