Biggest Gotcha’s when designing VDI environments

We get heavily involved with designing and implementing VDI environments for our clients from technical concept through assessment to POC and implementation, and over the course of this time we have come to see some of the biggest challenges that our clients have faced when it comes to the design of their VDI environments.  So we thought we would list the top 10 issues here:

  1. Storage Design
  2. Using VDI Defaults
  3. Little Server Cache
  4. Lack of desktop image optimisation
  5. Predicting user access times
  6. Anti-Virus Protection
  7. Improper Desktop Sizing
  8. Lack of Application Virtualisation Strategy
  9. Not managing user profile and their access requirements
  10. Not calculating user bandwidth requirements.
