Client Virtualization in its most basic format is : Server based computing…. a scenario where hunderds of client devices connect to one server image. One of the reasons why "thin clients" in their earlier avatar did not take off was because, the minute the complexity of the applications hosted on the server increased, the thin client solution was found wanting in performance.
A spate of new technologies have now given a new lease of life to thin clients - main among them being, VDI (Virtual Desktop Interface), Application Streaming and CCI (Client Consolidation Infrastructure).
Below is an amazingly insightful article written on "When to use VDI, when to use server-based computing, and how Application streaming fits into all this".
Do take time to read this article - this is a really good one :
