In my day (and night?) job working for Quest I get to demonstrate the Virtual Access Suite (VAS) a lot. In short this means that I have to demo a VAS infrastructure at the very least consisting of a VAS Connection Broker, a VAS Terminal Server, a VAS Virtual Desktop, a Domain Controller, a VirtualCenter server and a ESX host. With a lot of time and patience one would be able to get pretty far with this with a decent laptop up until ESX. ESX will not run on "normal laptop hardware". Period. So let me share how I found my ultimate ESX Whitebox.

A couple of months ago I noticed that RTO was offering a new product
called RTO Virtual Profiles. I also said it was probably just another
Flex Profiles clone. As it turns out I was quite wrong. Wrong in that
the product wasn't officially released yet and wrong in that RTO
Virtual Profiles deals with profiles in a very different, refreshing
way. I took a look at some of the early betas.

Microsoft just announced that they have delivered the first release candidate (RC) of Hyper-V to the general public. So after shipping Windows Server 2008 with a beta of the Hyper-V role embedded and now, not even a month later, shipping the Hyper-V release candidate, Microsoft is on the fast-track with Hyper-V. Mark my words: Hyper-V will be released (a lot) earlier than August 2008.

Application virtualization, primarily thanks to Microsoft pushing it, has become very popular in companies of all sizes. Implementation of application virtualization or migration to application virtualization isn't something to be taken lightly. Whether you use SoftGrid, Thinstall, Citrix Application Streaming or another product, very specific skills are required to make this work. Why do all the hard work yourself?

This is ironic. I've been scooped myself. As you might have noticed, Brian Madden has blogged about the fact that I have decided to join Provision Networks (now a part of Quest Software). This information came out a little earlier than I planned but I guess this is as good a time as any for me to explain why I decided to join Provision Networks and what will happen to Thincomputing.net.
