I happen to have a small NAS (Iomega IX4) in my lab and vCenter but those things aren’t required.
I used a single vSphere ESXi server and the Windows AD option for authentication (although AD isn’t required). I recorded my complete installation, initial configuration, and testing of VDI-in-a-Box. The thought of making desktop virtualization EASY and “the norm” for small and medium size companies around the world really intrigues me so I was excited to try VDI-in-a-Box. Plus, implementing VDI could be done using free VMware ESXi or free Hyper-V Server AND you didn’t even need a storage area network (although high availability is included). I was told that VDI-in-a-Box made implementing VDI / desktop virtualization so easy that anyone could do it. I have been interested in Kaviza since VMworld 2010 when they won the Best of VMworld awards but I hadn’t had a chance to try the solution until now. Citrix recently bought Kaviza whose product they renamed “VDI-in-a-Box”. As part of a new free video training on desktop virtualization I am creating for TrainSignal, I finally had the chance to check out a product I have been interested in for some time – VDI-in-a-Box.
