What key elements should organizations consider when choosing a VDI provider? Within Higher Ed, the most popular choice is Horizon View for VDI full desktops (also available cloud-hosted, known as Horizon Cloud) which provide a consistent user experience and reliable computing environment to faculty, staff, and students. Despite being newer to the software delivery market, it was VMware who conceptualized and prototyped Desktop Virtualization after seeing how their customers were using their ESX servers and server virtualization deployments.ĭelivering a wide range of server, desktop, VDI, and software remoting products, VMware and Citrix are mostly in lockstep for both on-premise and cloud platforms. VMware is the newer company to enter the space but has a very solid product offering and a large following in the Higher Ed market.
Through multiple acquisitions and partnerships, Citrix now offers a full complement of on-premise and cloud-hosted products in server, desktop, VDI, and software remoting market spaces. First focused on thin client technology and remote software access for users, halfway through their tenure they expanded into full desktop and VDI offerings. How do Citrix and VMware compare as on-premise VDI providers? Citrix is the obvious senior provider with nearly a decade and a half more time in the software delivery market.
