We're talking about piloting VDI here, but the more research I do, the more it seems like it would make more sense just to upgrade and expand our TS (RDS) environment. I feel like you can pull off more sessions per core on RDS than on any VDI solution I've looked at. Is this the case?

Is there a decision matrix anywhere describing the benefits of using full virtualized desktops over using a remote desktop farm?

We need good video performance for clinical imaging - will this work better on one infrastructure or the other?

(Does this question have a specific enough answer for it to be on SF? Regardless, I feel like having this here will be helpful for someone in the future...)
