Propalms VDI 1.1 RC Ready

Finally the new homepage is live now! And more importantly, the new VDI product is also up on the website.

Quoting  virtualizationinfo.com guys, “Yes we also want a piece of the VDI pie”.

You may ask what is new this time. With Propalms TSE 6.0 released early 2008 we delivered an integrated VDI solution for VMWare server 2.0. And it may not surprise you that not many people have implemented our VDI solution also. We were anyway busy migrating customers to TSE 6.0 and adding lot more new customers for TSE 6.0.

We started working on a new VDI solution by end of 2008 where the new product takes the lead to deliver virtual desktops and then deliver applications to virtual desktops. The new solution was supposed to be more flexible to add support for new virtualization platforms quickly with an easy and simple management interface. We choose Parallels Virtuozzo Container technology as our first virtualization platform to host virtual desktops.

We choose parallels because its an excellent platform for hosting virtual desktops:

• Higher density compared to competition
• Dynamic resource and application management
• Built-in application virtualization
• Its an extension to terminal services
• and more…

Propalms VDI v1.1 includes

• The connection broker service which currently runs on Windows platform for Parallels hosted desktops
• A management console using which you can create/manage/audit virtual desktops (Parallels containers)
• VDI Client for Windows, Linux and MAC OS X

I agree to Brian Madden that it will be year 2010 for VDI, so we are preparing for it. We do not intend to develop all the pieces from scratch. But we plan to bring in technologies existing today and currently in development together, marry them through our management framework and deliver a practically affordable VDI solution.
