The adoption of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is growing apace. It gives users one common place to work with a unified toolset, whether at their desktop or from their own device.
However, the licensing implications in the VDI environment can be so complex that many organizations cannot easily calculate their exposure. Indeed, many are unaware of the consequences of devices that are connected to VDI meaning that they may be both at risk of compliance failures through under-licensing while at the same time spending too much by over-licensing in other areas.
This 10 Minute Guide looks at how software licensing in a VDI environment for Microsoft’s Windows operating system can be effectively monitored and optimized using Snow License Manager to detect who is using VDI and from which devices. The document will help you understand how to ensure that software licensing within virtual environments does not spiral out of control.
