Desktop Virtualization contest continues: VMware commissions Tolly group for Citrix XenDesktop vs VMware view

This is a free report and can be downloaded. The Tolly group concludes with the following results:
The goal of the test was to help prospective users of the VMware and Citrix desktop virtualization solutions better understand the process of setting up and managing the respective VDI environments. Current release offerings were used for each of the solutions.
The VMware View 3 VDI solution deployed more simply and more rapidly than Citrix XenDesktop 2.1. VMware provided more comprehensive, efficient image and storage management of virtual desktops. It provides end-users with a quality of experience on the LAN that matches or exceeds that offered by the Citrix solution.
Now, who do you want to believe? I haven’t seen any major desktop solutions around, some tests here and there. A lot of PoCs and many getting shelved as the economy tanked. Much of the focus is switching back to application testing and app life cycle management.
Anyways, as we battle for the desktop virtualization space, here is yet another perspective of “who’s better than who”
