Desktop Virtualization software

[Yaboto]

Hi,


Please, What HP product corresponds to the following:

Desktop Virtualization Software: 4 Socket License for up to 50 concurrent users on each server.

HP does not have a product developed directly by them, for this purpose. Desktop virtualization used to be monopolized by Citrix by their MetaFrame product but with the proliferation of VMware and alikes, this monopoly has been crumbled. Cirix still holds a respectable market share, but after all you can use any other solution, most probably cheaper, for this purpose. If you want to acquire a product through HP, just contact your sales rep and hear what HP oppers are for desktop virtualization. I think, you can get better answers to this question in Windooze forums rather than hpux.

Shalom,

HP OS license comes with unlimited users.

You need do nothing but install the OS to have unlimited user sessions. Your limitations will have to do with third party software, for example Oracle, which charges $40,000/CPU for unlimited user license.

HP-UX is not a replacement for virtual desktop environments that handle windows clients.
