Overview
While server virtualization is typically implemented initially for consolidation, it also brings strong benefits in increasing availability for server applications. Furthermore, virtualization is moving beyond servers, and offering desktop delivery alternatives through virtual clients, application virtualization and application streaming. Moving beyond consolidation leverages your existing virtualization products, knowledge and skills to deliver better service to your end users — through increased availability, manageability and flexibility of both server and desktop applications.

Chapter 4 - Beyond Consolidation

In this chapter, Barb Goldworm takes her virtualization discussion into the realm of desktop and application virtualization. Included is a discussion of the advantages and pitfalls of thin client and workstation/PC blade desktop delivery configurations, as well as Microsoft's Vista and Windows Server 2008. Goldworm discusses how high availability can be extended to these next-step virtualization infrastructures.
