Frequently asked questions regarding the adoption of HP VDI
This is the second in a series of several newsletter articles about HP Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), in which we will continue to address more of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) that our technical staff receives. It is our goal to share these answers publicly as the HP knowledge base for VDI environments keeps expanding.
This set of FAQs includes, but is not limited to, the following
•What happens if you use sound? (see Question #1)
•A success story to tell your customers or stakeholders (see Question #2)
•The scoop about connection brokers (see Questions #3 and #4)
