CIO laments: windows7 virtual desktop failed to achieve

In mid-2010, the Windows 7 beta was widely distributed until October, when long-awaited alternatives were officially launched, and computer makers and analysts expected an important new operating system for x86-based PCs and servers. Will reinvigorate consumption. Most of the expected results, the company wants to migrate to Windows7, but do not want to spend money to replace all the computers, instead, invest heavily in virtual desktops. Potential savings are reduced in hardware maintenance and security costs. But it never happened. No significant changes
Virtual desktop technology is more widely used in large companies, but companies have not considered how to apply virtualization on the client side. Many people in the industry have already seen the appeal of virtual desktops, but they don't see anything in the CIO surveys and interviews. Perhaps virtual desktops will be widely used in the future. Now we don't see CIOs pushing virtual desktops, and most people are still fighting for their server virtualization infrastructure. Difficult Return on Investment Equation
The birth of Windows 7 is a slight catalyst expected by suppliers and analysts. PCs and operating systems involved in the upgrade cost more than servers and network infrastructure. Due to the number of configurations, virtual desktops have a lower return on investment than virtual servers. More importantly, Microsoft's licensing policy encourages users to stick to a particular desktop or laptop rather than a virtual machine. Slow and stable
Part of the desktop problem is the direct contact of the end user, which makes it almost sacred. As a result, it uses a convincing financial and organizationally conservative CIO to make the desktop widely changeable. But so far these drivers are not strong enough. When it comes to CIOs, most of them are still thinking about how to build the most effective virtualization infrastructure. Once they get an opportunity, they want to be well managed and automated so they can control it, then they will look at the hybrid cloud and try Take some potential benefits. After that, maybe they will look at desktop-as-a-service or VDI, but it is not a high priority for the company to use widely. Some departments of the company really need desktop virtualization, and it is a good job and it will get better and better. The cost, complexity, and lingering problems between the resistance of performance that many users care about make desktop virtualization slow and stable, rather than truly explosive growth.
