WTF VDI … Stop Letting Users Down!
When the benefits of VDI are just a Mirage!
Part of my job here at Moka5 is to keep my ear to the ground listening for certain mentioned keywords, discussions, pain points, and run sentiment analysis on each mention being said on social media channels. There are huge benefits in regards to competitive analysis when focused on the right topics, listened to at the right time. One such topic that I closely monitor is “VDI” written with negative sentiment. Often times, this will be an end-user simply venting about how their work computer has ceased to function, either due to too many concurrent users on the system or because their office connection went down. Other days I will see the IT Manager directly in charge of their network ripping apart how how hard the whole system is to manage. Day after day I see these people taking their personal, and often times confidential thoughts regarding VDI to the public twittersphere…and I’m there to listen!
Below are just a few blabs about how cool VDI is…sorry if you made the list!
Deploying my own VDI while managing vendors to migrate another VDI environment is making my brain hurt. Send help.

fascinating feedback form panel on #VDI at #ctgitleaders today. Pretty much universal expensive, poor, not future proof @Intel_IT_Center — Tom Wright (@Tom1Wright) June 25, 2013
