How much do companies spend to scale their environment?The cost of scaling storage to handle the disk I/O with VMWare at that size can easily triple or even quadruple the cost of desktops to users. At what point is VDI not cost effective anymore? From my companies standpoint, we would have saved a large amount of money had we just given all of our users new PC's. Soft costs alone will never justify the increase in cost to scale out the architecture for VDI. Take it from someone who learned the hard way.
