VDI, is it time to rethink the Desktop?

I see it happen all the time. A VAR creates a custom solution for their customers because they can’t find anything that really accomplishes what they are trying to implement.  Occasionally this leads to a new tech company being spun out.

This is the case with OS33; they offer MSPs a robust “cloud computing IT delivery automation platform” or CCITDAP, pronounced, “sit-dap” (No, I’m just kidding, that’s not a real acronym. But we really do need more acronyms in this industry so it may just catch on. Anyway, I digress.)

The OS33 solution is completely turnkey. They provide all of the infrastructure and apps, and the MSP simply sells and deploys from a centralized console.

But what I found interesting is how they deploy their VDI solution. Rather than Desktop replication, they use a Webtop.

Now the Webtop has been discussed and written about for a very long time.  Usually it is promoted as a competitive alternative to Microsoft. But a VDI delivered Webtop offers the best of both worlds.  It delivers all of your cloud applications, and your MS Office, Exchange, and other Windows applications in the same workspace.
