We at Dataplex have been working with desktop virtualisation technologies for many years, and if there is one thing that will make this fundamental shift in desktop architectures happen surely it has to be client side hypervisor.
Only today did were we requested to meet with a very large financial house to position desktop virtualisation and how this technology will mean they need to shift their current way of funding and under writing solutions for their clients.
AS you will no doubt know both VMware and Citrix are readying their offerings at the moment but both are very sceptical to the general public when XenClient will ship. However, in the run up to their end user focused event “Synergy” they are running a competition to win a XenClient Dell Latitude E6400 Laptop – one of the first models to be named Xen compatible.
So I am sure they are more close to releasing the product than most people think.
Demonstrated it looks pretty fantastic, it has some very clever technology in it and I wish I could share more but we are under NDA.
