This means that users can reduce the capital expenses associated with VDI to less than $200 per desktop while providing boot times of 12 seconds. The company has particularly tested the product with Cisco UCS blade servers, which can deploy up to 6,400 virtual desktops in one rack, and is promoting it with Cisco, but it is server-agnostic.
