Is desktop virtualization the next focal point?

 

   

I’m still getting my feet under me after my travel to New England, New York and New Jersey this week.  So, I’m going to post a few things concerning demonstrations I saw at VMworld 2009.

It is clear to me that many suppliers are intensely focused on providing a virtualized environment for client systems, sometimes called desktop virtualization, application virtualization or user virtualization. How these suppliers are approaching this perceived market need differs from company to company. Large suppliers, such as Citrix, HP, IBM, and Microsoft, are deploying multiple strategies.

在我这周去英格兰、纽约、新泽西旅游完后我仍然经历充沛。所以，我想发表一些关于我在VMWORLD 2009上所见所闻。

显而易见，很多供应商都全力为客户端系统提供虚拟环境，有时候这些虚拟环境被成为虚拟桌面，虚拟应用程序或者用户虚拟化。这些供应商需要采用区别于其他公司的差异化服务来占领这个市场。大型的供应商如CIRIX、HP、IBM和MS都实施了多元化战略。

 

• ClearCube, HP, IBM, Pano Logic, and Wyse, offer hardware based solutions. This would include blade PCs, blade computers or creation of thin client solutions.
• ClearCube,HP,IBM,Pano Logic和Wyse，提供基础硬件解决方案。这些方案包括了刀片式PC，刀片式服务器或者有创造性的瘦客户机端解决方案。
• Citrix, HP, Microsoft and Teredici offer remote desktop delivery protocols and tools
• Citrix, HP, Microsoft和Teredici 提供了远程桌面传输协议和工具。 
• Citrix, Microsoft, Red Hat and VMware are offering hypervisors that can be used to support virtual machines for either client or server environments 
Citrix, Microsoft, Red Hat 和 VMware正在提供一些计算机管理程序，这些程序可以用来支持为客户端和服务器端提供环境的虚拟机。
• Parallels and the typical cast of UNIX characters offer operating system virtualization/partitioning environments for either client or server environments
• Paralles和主流的UNIX阵营为客户端和服务器端提供了虚拟化/分区的操作系统。
• AppZero, Thinstall, Virtual Computer, Wanova and a few others are focused on managing and provisioning some combination of user personalization, user data, applications and operating system settings for virtual client environments
• AppZero,Thinstall,Virtual Computer,Wanova 和一些其他企业专注于管理和为复合型用户提供个性化需求定制，为虚拟客户端环境设置用户数据、应用程序。

In the end, this portion of the market is still immature. It is not at all clear which approach will come to predominate in the future. What is clear is that organizations that have already experienced some success with server virtualization, consolidation, orchestration and optimization are likely to turn their attention on the herd of PCs, laptops and the like are in use in their organization in the hopes of improving adminstration of ongoing operations, updates, security and the like.

最后，这片市场仍然是不成熟的。现在还不清楚谁会成为这块领域的主流。但是明显的是那些已经成功涉及服务器的虚拟化、集成化、流程化、最优化的企业最有可能将他们的注意力聚焦在PC，笔记本诸如此类的集团，提高他们正在进行的操作,提高管理提供,保障和类似的更新。
