VDI and the cloud: Looking for signs of life – Nov 11, 2010

Virtualized desktops have traditionally been served from dedicated machines in the datacenter. Serving them from the cloud seems like a logical next natural step when it comes to meeting the needs of a rapidly changing and increasingly mobile workforce. But is this happening?

Most cloud conversations ignore the simple fact that CIOs today make investment decisions based on both technological AND economic potential.

What kind of ROI are CIOs expecting from cloud applications? What workloads have the greatest potential for cost savings or performance improvement if moved to the cloud?

Are the conversations about the “open cloud” vs. the “closed cloud” missing the point? How is IT coping with these new organizational models?
