Looking to get started with desktop virtualization and VDI in your organization this year? Be sure to check out these short video clips which give you some quick tips around low-cost VDI, scaling out your Horizon View deployment, storage considerations for VDI and Horizon View installation best practices.
VMware has also just introduced a number of high-performance, fully validated desktop architectures that are simple to deploy, highly scalable, and extremely cost-effective. In fact some of these solutions are so cost-effective-they will allow you to fast track your stateless virtual desktop deployment for as little as $408 per user for datacenter hardware and software. So whether you are rolling out 200 or 1000s of Horizon View seats, these vFast Track architectures ensure that the deployment will be cost-effective, will meet use requirements, and will scale linearly and predictably.

Note: Costs include datacenter hardware and software (VMware Horizon View license). Per user costs do not include Windows Server OS (VM to host vCenter). It is assumed that a 2vCPU/4GB vRAM Windows Server OS (VM) is available to host View Connection Server and that Windows Infrastructure exists (Active Directory, etc.) and is not part of the equation. Windows Desktop OS licenses, thin client/PC hardware/peripherals are also not included as part of the per user costs.
