微软与VMWARE的桌面虚拟化简介

一、VDI作用简要说明

对VDI更多的理解和作用还是请用GOOGLE吧。或是去微软或VMWARE的官方站点。

1、通过 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure，企业可以使用虚拟化技术在数据中心以虚拟机形式托管桌面。

2、用户可以使用远程显示协议从 PC 或瘦客户端进行访问。

二、理解微软的桌面虚拟化解决方案

微软的桌面虚拟化主要有两个方面：

1、Client-hosted类型的：以Virtual pc 2007为基础。辅助于MED-V(Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization)。

而MED-V目前还在初期阶段，据我所知的版本是V1.0。

A、MED-V environment（包含的组件，就不译成中文了，很简单的）:

Host The end user’s physical computer, typically a desktop or laptop computer. It’s

also called an endpoint computer.

MED-V Client Software that runs on the host that can download and run Virtual PC

images seamlessly on the host, according to MED-V usage policies.

MED-V Image Repository An IIS Web server that stores and distributes virtual images

to endpoints.

MED-V Management Server A MED-V server that authenticates, provisions, and

controls all users of the system. Client-server communication is based on HTTP or

HTTPS.

MED-V Server The server that holds the main image repository and is the

management server.

MED-V Package A mechanism for installing Virtual PC, the MED-V client, and

optionally a virtual image on a host.
