VIRTUMANIA Episode 15: Fishing For Virtual Desktops
June 17th, 2010 | 
Author: Episode 15 of VIRTUMANIA features another conversation about VDI! As usual, Rick Vanover joins us as our show regular. Greg Knieriemen substitutes for Marc Farley as the co-host, and all three of us are honored to have Ron Oglesby as our special guest. The following is the podcast summary:
VIRTUMANIA Podcast Episode 15 – Fishing For Virtual Desktops. Hosted by Rich Brambley (@rbrambley) of VMETC and Greg Knieriemen (@knieriemen) with guests and Rick Vanover (@rickvanover) of RickVanover.com and Ron Oglesby (@ronoglesby) Chief Solution Architect at Unidesk. Unlike our previous VDI Plumber Crack episode where we looked at server infrastructure, this time the focus is on the end user side of virtual desktops. Just like in fishing there is a “tackle box” of choices for provisioning, managing and supporting user images and applications, and virtualization admins have to be careful not to snag their VDI project in the weeds of end point connection devices. Virtumania is a Infosmack Production.

Ron Oglesby
Ron Oglesby leaves Dell to go to Unidesk? (err… Unidesk!)
“All this changes with Ron.
I’m not sure exactly what his job will be, but you can rest-assured that Ron brings instant credibility to the company in the eyes of the thousands of people who have seen him speak at BriForum, VMworld, iForum or read any of his three books. (One on Terminal Server and two on VMware ESX.)
So congrats to Unidesk for scoring Ron. So, um, can you tell us what the hell you’re doing now?

VDI, XenClient, iPad, and more final thoughts from Citrix Synergy
The real XenClient opportunity is not about letting users toggle back and forth between work and home VMs in a Bring Your Own PC (BYOPC) model. XenClient’s ability to run multiple VMs on a PC or notebook opens up amazing new opportunities for third party solutions that can improve or provide new capabilities around desktop patching, app delivery, user mobility, personalization, end user self-service, desktop repair, auditing, edge security, data protection, and more
