What differentiates the Citrix + Netapp VDI solution from the one from VMware?
The Citrix + Netapp VDI solution differs from the one from VMware in four key areas: 1. User Experience: Citrix’s HDX Technologies optimizes the user experience by leveraging integrated client/endpoint-, server-, or network side technologies to allow users an optimal high definition user experience to a broad range of applications – streaming media, Flash, audio, 3D graphics, etc – over both the Local Area Network and the Wide Area Network. This is in stark contrast to VMware View, which will work for LAN use cases, but not for the WAN. 2. Application Management: The Citrix + Netapp VDI solution includes integrated XenApp, Citrix’s proven application virtualization solution, which works with 1000′s of Windows applications, in either a Hosted or Streamed mode. VMware View integrates with VMware’s ThinApp application virtualization technology. However, the VMware View solution requires bundling all delivered applications into the VM, which makes application delivery much more cumbersome
