Hosted Virtual Desktop Infrastructure | Qumranet

Do I need to buy new client machines to use Solid ICE?

No. Because of the centralized, hosted architecture of Solid ICE, processing power on the local device is largely eliminated. Existing desktops, laptops and thin-client devices may be used as is without the need for a costly client hardware refresh. In addition to extending the lifecycle of existing client hardware and lowering TCO, organizations will also benefit from the ability to replace existing machines with less powerful client devices or migrate to thin-client hardware.

Does Solid ICE lend itself to outsourced desktop management environments?

Organizations that outsource their desktop infrastructure to an independent 3rd party (e.g. systems integrator) may employ a strategy in which Solid ICE is managed by the 3rd party. This approach lends itself well to those organizations seeking a centralized approach to managing their clients.

Is Solid ICE premise-based or is it available as a managed service?

The 1st release of Solid ICE is intended to be hosted on premise in the organization's data center.

If a Solid ICE virtual desktop is idle, is there an automated way to terminate the session so that licenses are not consumed unnecessarily?

Yes. To maximize the utility of the license pool, administrators can terminate idle sessions based on pre-determined policies (e.g. idle time, time of day, etc.).

How is Solid ICE licensed?

What is the recommended configuration for the server hardware used in a Solid ICE deployment?

From a server density perspective, how many users does Solid ICE support?

The numbers of users supported (e.g. server density) is dependent on multiple factors.
