WAN critical for Virtualization [and eventually cloud]

“The biggest issue when you’re looking at virtual traffic is the fact that, much like voice, much like video, it’s live,” says Chris Silva, an analyst at Forrester Research. “If you’re accessing it remotely and there’s a glitch, you may have an application timeout, you may literally lose connectivity. It’s really critical to have real-time interaction speed with that environment when you’re working in it virtually. Think about it like any other live, real-time protocol.”
Desktop virtualization products like VMware’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) are designed to replace traditional PCs with virtual machines managed from the data center. The potential benefit is a reduction in operating cost, increased control of desktop management, and extension of critical services, such as business continuity and disaster recovery, to enterprise desktops.
