About x86 personal understanding of the Desktop Virtualization component in Server virtualization

Version 2016 x86 server virtualization Gartner Report has been out for some time, as a main virtual desktop practitioners originally felt that this report does not have much to do with me, looking at the familiar xenserver in the three or four quadrant to wander back and forth, can only be anxious no way. That's all.

But recently, some friends holding a public number article asked me, "How does Citrix Desktop virtualization fall to fourth place?" In fact, this article, my personal view on the good, also do not want to comment, today was asked, wrote something from a personal point of view to analyze this part of the content, as the idle time to talk about the capital.

I don't have the ability to analyze the entire x86 virtualization, I can only talk about one of the subtopics, Product or Service for Virtual desktop infrastructure. I personally understand from the literal meaning that x86 server virtualization products and services for desktop virtualization support and capabilities.

I personally understand that Gartner should be judged from the capabilities of the product, as well as the two indicators actually delivered in the market. Specific which weight is not known.

Note: The individual does not consider this subkey to represent a comparison table of desktop virtualization products, which is also the server virtualization part of the assessment.

2. VMW all sub-projects ranked first. This is affected by two parts, VMW's own desktop and Citrix desktop support capabilities. Two of the world's largest virtualization manufacturers, is the desktop industry's only two leader, believe that the world's more than half of the virtual desktop by VMW vsphere support. Citrix has quite a bit of desktop running on vsphere, and Horizon has a lot of features that need vsphere to support, and it can only run on Vpshere, and that's a lot to add.

   So, in a comprehensive view, he deserved the first rank.

4. Microsoft. Believe that in the domestic Use System Center + Hyperv users less, but in Europe and the United States in fact this user also a lot. In particular, with Ms signing a variety of contracts for users, use the Hyperv platform to offer Windows Server licensing fees. This is a belief that everyone can understand. And objectively speaking, 2012R2 version of the System Center + HYPERVV in terms of functionality or in many indicators is not weaker than VMware, users choose to use is not surprising. At the same time in the Desktop section, Microsoft also pushes its own VDI right-hand and Citrix Partners, (in North America, Citrix recommends using the Hyperv platform for a long time) because of course it is used for competition with VMware. So, it's not surprising that Microsoft can rank second.

6.  at the beginning of this ranking is still a small difference, but think also relieved. In the past few years, has invested in virtualization cloud computing, compared with other virtualization vendors to do virtualization and cloud, has really spent a lot of energy, manpower, material resources in the Desktop Virtualization branch. For example, in the desktop scene Vgpu ability, in addition to the Protocol, the most important is the bottom hypervisor can support, scheduling nvidia K1,K2 (the new M10,M60), this for a long time only Citrix XenServer can support. And  fusionsphere almost as much time as Vmwar vsphere. And even today, only these three can support the Nvidia VGPU solution. And as HYPERV,KVM are not, it can be seen that  invests in the big.

8. In desktop virtualization vendors, Citrix is the only mainstream vendor I know that can support Citrix Xenserver,vmware Vsphere,microsoft Hyperv Multiple platforms at the same time. Unlike other vendors ' desktop virtualization, they can only support their own hypervisor. So when quite a few users choose vsphere and hyperv,xenserver the use of the amount of natural less. But now see xenserver+xendesktop in the domestic use of basic and vsphere flat. In addition, Citrix puts xemserver through open source and pushes it to the public cloud (KVM-like) hypervopisor platform. So the development function is not limited to the desktop part, but at least to the present mainly, XenServer in the function and so on is still xendesktop best partner, not one.

I have only heard of the Sangfor and Redhat,oracle virtualization products can support what the desktop really did not hear. Another manufacturer has not heard of, ignorant.

1. In the past few years domestic it manufacturers I feel that in addition to  on the number of deep conviction to do a hurricane, product line from its traditional AC to virtualization, desktop, HCI, Cloud, is really a few. Its full play to learn the advantages of the products of friends: virtual Integration machine to achieve back-end consolidation, the use of AC products by experience directly grafted to the VDI product line, that is, to reduce development time, but also to fully tap the stock of customers, a lot more. Its product characteristics are very obvious, not high-end but in line with the use of Chinese small and medium-sized customers habits, affordable and sufficient, to make full use of existing channels to promote. Now it is low or eat the start of the late loss, how to wait and see.

2.Redhat These years in the IT circle that is red half the sky of the hot fried chicken, its kvm,openstack ecosystem plus the previous Linux, it can be said that the world's hottest two open source projects are he created or dominated. However, in the desktop system, Redhat on the KVM is very limited, after all, from the overall desktop in the entire x86 virtual plate is still a small piece. Redhat can be found in this sub-item to believe or get a large number of desktop parts based on Kvm,openstack developed products. The support and contribution of various domestic manufacturers is inseparable.
