Citrix TechTalk: Designing a Virtual Desktop Solution for 20,000 Concurrent Users

Does this sound familiar? Current desktops are unable to support the latest operating systems and applications. Many desktop devices are greater than 5 years old. Due to the distributed nature of the organization, desktop management is handled on a site-by-site basis resulting in hundreds of standard images. This organization, after funding approval, is planning a move to desktop virtualization.  

In order to achieve this goal, the organization had their environment assessed.  Based on the assessment, a desktop virtualization design was created that includes the following plan of attack:
•  All users will utilize Windows 7 as the standard operating system
•  Microsoft Hyper-V will be the foundation of the virtualization layer
•  Two different FlexCast modules will be used: Hosted VM-Based VDI and Blade PCs
• Provisioning services  will deliver one of five different standard images across the entire organization
