SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure solution

The SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure (SDI) solution provides support for virtual desktops by using Citrix XenDesktop or VMware View with the VMware ESXi hypervisor. Hosted shared desktops can also be used with Citrix XenDesktop.

Reference architecture PDFs are available, which provide a technical description of the solution, and give sizing and bill of materials information for ordering a SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure Solution. A base reference architecture PDF covers general VDI concepts. Build-to-order solutions that are based on the Flex System are also described.
