Pooled and personalized virtual desktops VDI-in-a-Box 5.1 provides personalized desktops that allow users to install their own choice of applications and store personalized configurations and data. These personalized desktops are generated from a master image providing the best of both worlds: users get personalized desktops while Windows desktop administrators manage a single master image. This saves time and money while delivering a highly personalized end-user experience. With personalized virtual desktops, user installed data and applications are stored in a user specific layer that is used in conjunction with a base image. Thus, VDI-ina-Box 5.1 offers both personalized virtual desktops and pooled VDI virtual desktops derived from the same base image. Personalized virtual desktops offer another benefit ― single instance management. Rather than juggling many persistent desktops, IT departments can maintain one master copy of desktop images while preserving the personalization of user applications and data. This dramatically reduces recurring management overhead and can cut data center storage costs by up to 90 percent. 7 Dell DVS Simplified Appliance Reference Architecture

Pooled and personalized virtual desktops
VDI-in-a-Box 5.1 provides personalized desktops that allow users to install their own
choice of applications and store personalized configurations and data. These personalized
desktops are generated from a master image providing the best of both worlds: users get
personalized desktops while Windows desktop administrators manage a single master
image. This saves time and money while delivering a highly personalized end-user
experience. With personalized virtual desktops, user installed data and applications are
stored in a user specific layer that is used in conjunction with a base image. Thus, VDI-in-
a-Box 5.1 offers both personalized virtual desktops and pooled VDI virtual desktops
derived from the same base image.
Personalized virtual desktops offer another benefit
―
single instance management. Rather
than juggling many persistent desktops, IT departments can maintain one master copy of
desktop images while preserving the personalization of user applications and data. This
dramatically reduces recurring management overhead and can cut data center storage
costs by up to 90 percent.
