A real buzz word and something we are asked about on a regular basis here is around virtualising the desktop.

big players like Citrix, VmWare and Microsoft all have compelling views on virtualising your desktops.

although the hot topic is virtualising or VDI as many are calling it there is still many considerations as to whether its right for your business.

One of the leading techies I know in this field is Matt Mcspirit over at Microsoft, Matt is the UK partner tech specialist for Windows Server and MS virtualisation technologies, but Matt also has a good view on the general virtualisation scene.

Matt is joining us here at Gardner on 14th July to present where Microsoft are going with Server 2008R2 and Windows 7 (due for release in October)

Microsoft are an excellent source of information on this topic though and Matt has a great piece on his BLOG today with some of the sizing tools MS have available. Check it out, could give you some valuable information as you search for your ideal desktop strategy.
