Streaming and Virtual Hosted Desktop Study: Phase 2

Intel IT conducted an internal technology evaluation to determine how using the most up-to-date hardware and software, such as Intel Xeon processor X5570 and Microsoft Windows 7, affects server and network utilization as well as the performance of streamed and virtual hosted desktop (VHD) compute models. This study followed a previous investigation, published in 2008, that compared streaming and VHD.1 the current findings indicate that streaming provides better server loading and a more positive overall user experience with new Intel Xeon processors.
