Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) involves a cultural shift in how desktop computing is perceived and delivered. To increase your chances of success, break the implementation project into four parts:
- Assess the current desktop delivery model. What you can do depends on what you now do.
- Run a pilot implementation, not a proof of concept. A true pilot should be a microcosm of the future implementation. Take the opportunity to test assumptions as well as infrastructure performance.
- Rollout VDI overtime. A big bang approach will lead to more grief than success. Take time to gather feedback and lessons learned to make each phase smoother.
Implement a VDI solution for the right people, with the right performance, and at the right price.
