We've seen vendors like Citrix and VMware offer end-to-end solutions (XenServer with XenDesktop/PVS, or ESX with Vmware View), and we've also seen mixed vendor environments (Quest with ESX, XenDesktop with Hyper-V via Citrix Essentials, etc.). The common theme amongst all of these solutions is the need for a shared storage infrastructure that not only can provide robust performance, but also deliver a storage price-point that doesn't become the bottleneck for Virtual Desktop adoption. We've spoken here on many occasions about the value that NetApp brings to Virtual Desktop environments, but what we'd like to speak about today is the growing level of integration that NetApp provides across Virtual Desktop environments. In the past we've won awards from Desktop leaders such as Microsoft and Citrix for our virtualization solutions. This level of integration was at the hypervisor level. But we're taking that to the next level through several pieces of integration with Virtual Desktop Connection Brokers.

In addition, NetApp is now integrated with Quest VWorkSpace 6.2 to rapidly create cloning using NetApp FlexCloning technology. This will further enhance NetApp's ability to provide shared storage for Virtual Desktop deployments as Quest is quickly integrating with both VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V.
