Well, you can certainly ‘dial up a desktop’ from any number of Desktop as a Service (DaaS) or Workspace as a Service (WaaS) providers but some partners and customers want to build their own.

A few good resource’s if your going down this road are noted below.

and

Horizon DaaS (Desktop as a Service) Platform for Service Providers (Formerly Desktone)

Finally, a must read for anyone heading down this road is the Desktop as Service book by VDI ninjas, Brian Madden & Gabe Knuth! You can get your hands on it here! Enjoy!

Welcome to VDI Toolbox!

Hello! Thanks for dropping by to learn more!

The goal of this site is quite simple, to help customers and partners learn & deploy many of  the solutions in the Dell desktop virtualization portfolio and a variety of associated virtualization technologies.

We cover things like thin clients, zero clients, various VDI datacenter appliances, high end graphics like NVIDIA, troubleshooting resources for Citrix and VMware and many other topics.  Just like many others who blog, this site also serves as a personal repository of links, tools and resources that I commonly reference in my daily work as well and hope others find helpful!

I’d love to hear your feedback on any ideas or topics that you would like me to add the site!

Thanks!
