This article mainly introduces the difference between VMware Mirage and VDI, which has certain reference value. Interested friends can refer to it. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let Xiaobian take you to understand it together.

Difference between VMware Mirage and VDI 1: Client Load

Users still use "fat" clients such as their own computers in VMware Mirage environment, data is also stored locally, and there is no change from before, and user habits and experiences have not changed. Compared to VDI, users can use more "thin" devices such as thin clients and tablets locally, and the computing power and data are never local. For some special scenarios such as 3D applications that require special peripherals to be connected, the VMware Mirage experience will be better.

Difference between VMware Mirage and VDI 2: Server load

VMware Mirage does not need to host computing resources on the server side. On the one hand, the background server is used to store images, applications and user data, and on the other hand, it is responsible for some management work such as policy setting. Since computing resources are concentrated on the client side, the backend server load is very small. One server can manage 1500 clients. VMware Mirage does not require a large number of compute clusters compared to VDI solutions.

Difference between VMware Mirage and VDI 3: Network Dependency

For VDI users, all systems and files are stored in the background server, and the client only assumes the role of display, so the network becomes critical. Once the network fails, the user will not be able to work. VMware Mirage solution is exactly the opposite. Users work exactly the same way as traditional ones. Even if there is no network, users can still work normally. After the network is restored, the data will be synchronized to the management server.

Difference between VMware Mirage and VDI 4: User Roaming

VMware Mirage solution design concept is completely different from VDI, VDI is user-centric, the virtual machine in the background is aimed at the user, where the user goes, virtual machine follows. It facilitates the mobile office of users. VMware Mirage is PC or device-centric, the device is the center of its management, data is always associated with the device, where the user goes, his data will not follow where.

The difference between the two options can be clearly explained in the following table:

Scenario Server Client Network Management Center VDI Scenario High Load: Runs in Server, Requires Server Cluster Zero Load: Thin Client/Zero Client High Requirements: Runs Online User-Centric VMware Mirage Scenario Low Load: Distribution and Centralized Management System as Mirrors Only High Load: Operating System Low Requirements: Offline operation is client-centric. Thank you for reading this article carefully. I hope that Xiaobian will share the article "What are the differences between VMware Mirage and VDI?" This article is helpful to everyone. At the same time, I hope that everyone will support you a lot. Pay attention to the industry information channel. More relevant knowledge is waiting for you to learn!
