10-29-08 Why ServerGeeks Should Care About Desktops - CommentsThis is a featured page

As a self-acknowledged servergeek, I enjoy learning about the details of Microsoft Exchange 2007, SQL Server Mirroring, Oracle RAC, and VMware HA. I spend a lot of my time analyzing the configuration of systems with tons of processing cores and RAM of 32, 64, and 128 GB. I even have my own open source project (along with Dave) that is a test OLTP database for SQL, Oracle, and MySQL that includes driver programs, build files, and load scripts.

So why should I get involved with desktops? Because a lot of people are now considering using those big servers to host desktops—as virtual machines—inside the data center. The advantages of this approach can include better security of data, easier management of clients, and potential cost savings. In some ways it’s an extension of many of the advantages of server virtualization, but for desktops. So pay attention: the desktop may be coming into your data center.
