GlassHouse Technologies and the VDI Coalition Introduce VDI Reference Architecture at Citrix Synergy 2011

Architecture shows complexity in VDI deployments is simplified when working with a strong ecosystem of partners

Framingham, Mass. – May 25, 2011— GlassHouse Technologies, a leading data center consulting and managed services firm, today introduced its Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Reference Architecture, which specifies where members of the VDI Coalition fit into the overall schema. Members of the VDI Coalition currently include Xiotech, DataCore, Panologic, Silver Peak and Virsto. The VDI Reference Architecture was developed by GlassHouse and the VDI Coalition to illustrate the added effectiveness gained when technologies are leveraged together to support desktop virtualization projects in today’s complex, heterogeneous data centers.

Members of the VDI Coalition are participating this week in Citrix Synergy, an annual global conference hosted by Citrix to discuss viewpoints, ideas and solutions in the technology space. This year’s conference will be held from May 24 – 27 in San Francisco and will highlight how virtualization, networking and cloud technologies are being used in tandem to provide the best in business solutions.

GlassHouse will be available to discuss the details of the VDI Reference Architecture during Synergy at Xiotech’s and DataCore’s booths (#412 and #600 respectively). To meet with one of GlassHouse’s consultants to discuss the architecture or address specific desktop virtualization questions, visit the booths or email [email protected] to arrange an appointment.
