The market for centralized Windows-based desktops, both Remote Desktop Sessions (RDS) and Virtual Desktop
Infrastructures (VDI) continues to grow as more companies adopt the technologies for some or all of their workforce. 

While the various technologies that comprise the VDI ‘stack’ continue to mature, deploying VDI or RDS still has
several potential challenges that must be addressed in order to provide users with functionality that is as good or
better than traditional PC environments.

This white paper describes the VDI lifecycle – from the start of a new VDI project through to the ongoing operations of a production environment to create and ensure the best possible performance for the centralized desktop users.
