Snow presales expert, Florian Jorno explores the difficulties faced by organizations when it comes to licensing VDI implementations.

As an ex-software license auditor at KPMG specializing in Microsoft licensing, I’ve seen first-hand how organizations large and small misunderstand the licensing impacts of virtualizing their desktops.

In my experience, decisions made related to VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) are driven by functional and technical cost decisions without taking into account the impact either would make on licensing.  This can lead to either a compliance failure through under licensing or overspend due to over licensing in some areas.
