New Intel-RES Whitepaper

From the VDX Inside dept. On behalf of my good colleague Jeff Fisher, I would like to share with you all a new whitepaper which was joint developed by Intel Corporation and RES Software.The paper highlights the value add of RES VDX, when dealing with the challenges of deploying server-based VDI.  Intel has been running a campaign around “Intelligent Client” for a while now, with the goal of evangelizing a hybrid approach to Desktop Virtualization. Clearly Intel as well as RES Software believes that one size doesn’t fit all. As a consequence Intel has created messaging which states (and I happen to agree with this), that although there is a time and place for VDI in the enterprise, a wholesale move to this kind of environment doesn’t make sense because it ignores increasingly capable rich endpoints.

Obviously, this is a great fit with RES Software’s VDX technology and Intel has been working with it for around 6 months now.  They are showcasing VDX in a number of demo environments, including their client virtualization lab in Folsom, CA, which is often visited by Intel enterprise business development managers and their customers. As a result, Intel have started a joint effort with RES Software around VDX and Intelligent Client which so far has seen us included in both a media event they held about a month ago (see Jeff’s post here), a Cloud Builder event that we attended last month in Belgium and now, a published white paper that I’ve attached for your use. The whitepaper contains some very interesting benchmark numbers to contemplate.
