With VMware vSphere advanced technologies like DPM there is little reason why we wouldn't want to put our desktops into the datacenter.
Adding other reasons like IP protection, simpler remote access and extending the lifecycle for the desktop PC from 3 years to 10 years makes VDI a no brainer.
VMware vs Citrix are very close when it comes to technology and price. HDX and PCoIP are apples/apples and bandwidth/latency are all relative. If you're on a low bandwidth high latency connection then PCoIP will compensate.
Pricing? Apples/Apples IMO, VMware View Premier comes with vSphere for free, Citrix's solution is no different, your going to pay a per seat license and you're putting it back into the DC.
If your running Windows you still have a license there regardless.
Who cares.. with PCoIP you have 1 point of failure and need oodles more processing in the datacenter. Not to even mention a Massively larger PIPE for a switch for the traffic created.
While most are trying to lower power constraints INSIDE the datacenter. Vmware forces you to put it all inside the datacenter.
This is where in practice Citrix Xen simply works and Vmware views simply doesnt!
PS - the XEN HDX works just as well without the massive traffic that PCoIP creates.
With enough money anyone can make anything better. I think the point is that using default software that does not include running out and buying enhancements, Citrix blows away VMware. On the other hand if you insist on spending a fortune to make VMware achieve the same technical comparisons then go right ahead. For my money, Citrix is the better solution all around. BTW, I'm both a VMware VCP and a Citrix CCEA so I know what I'm talking about.

i support both solutions, so i can support more customers and keep working/earning money ;-) you just compared the display protocol
hope to see an updated video soon
cheers
But I agree they should do Views 4 with PCoIP against XEND with HDX.
then show the ability AS WELL AS - the traffic created.
Management point of view.. bad bad idea if simply not practical for vmware view.
