VMware Horizon View is a supported product by VMware and is used around the world. VDI has lots of great use cases and when VMWare promotes their product they mention these use cases and the advantages they bring. Much of the economic advantage is gained only if the VDI master image is optimized otherwise costs to run VDI are significantly higher. The article I linked to in my previous post is one put out by VMware showing this 30% improvement using OSOT. You would think that VMware would fully support an optimization product since it is in their best interest. The Citrix optimization product is regularly updated and fully supported.
In essence, VMware by not updating OSOT is telling customers with the newest version of Windows we do not have an optimization product, so either
- Look elsewhere for an optimization product
- Run without optimization and incur greater cost
At the moment I am between a rock and a hard place. We are running Win10 v1709 and OSOT works great for this version. v1709 is going end of life in January so we have to jump to a newer version. The logical jump is to v1903 but OSOT does not work.
