Each offers a managed infrastructure at various cost points.

The questions are:
1. Do you need to manage the Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure?
2. Will the desktops run local to the remote user or on a backend server infrastructure?
3. Where will the data reside (which may drive where the Virtual Desktop runs)?
4. Will you be virtualizing applications?

The question is deliberately open-ended. Suggestions anyone? I’ve had a look at VMWare, Citrix etc. It looks like Citrix might be better than individual VMs for each user in VMWare.

Also any suggestions as to what licensing is required to make it legal?
