Homogenous Virtual Hardware

All Virtual Machines use the same virtual hardware. One base image can be used for many different VMs –driver management is greatly simplified.

Templates can be created to aid rapid deployment of new Virtual Machines.

VDI is Virtual Infrastructure

VMware vSphere comprising ESX 4 Servers and vCenter are are good examples of core components of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

Virtualized Server and Desktop spaces can co-exist, and benefit from, the same hardware, architecture, and infrastructure.

Virtual desktops can benefit from the same Automatic Load-Balancing and High Availability features such as those delivered by VMware HA, DRS, Fault Tolerance and VMotion.
