Great for Storing Physical Machine Images
Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
Before I started using VMware almost exclusively, I used Oracle VDI. My sole use was in building and maintaining images for Windows hosts. I would build my image on an Oracle virtual machine, and then capture it with FOG or something similar. I loved that I could access it from anywhere on the network, and make changes on the fly.
Pros
- The user experience is great.
- Remote access.
- Rile sharing between desktops.
Cons
- Frequent disconnects causing me to have to reboot my server.
- Can be laggy at times.
- Freezes regularly.
- When I used it full-time it worked for what I needed it - positive.
- When it crashed, it costed me in time to wait to get it back up - negative.
- Took up less space than using live machines - positive.
No contest, VMware ESXi blows Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure out of the water in both usability and dependability. When I was using Oracle VDI full time, I was constantly having to reboot my server because my VM froze. I have even lost work because of the freezing. I have not had this issue since switching to ESXi.
