Dear member,

Welcome to the VDI new journey.

More and more customers choose virtualization technology for the IT infrastructure to share hardware resources, then improve the hardware usage rate and decrease the hardware maintenance workload. In themeaning time, virtualization technology provides a flexible solution for the elastic business and supports more security features to protect data.

Desktop virtualization and server virtualization are two leading virtualization technologies, however, when customers have both desktop and server virtualization requirements, customers must create 2 separated clusters in the past. The hardware resources can be shared in 2 clusters, and the IT team must manage 2 consoles.

We plan to launch the first Server &Desktop Virtualization 2 in 1 VDI version 5.9.0 in September and are starting beta support now.

1. What Are the New Features?

Sangfor VDI version 5.9.0 uses Sangfor HCI 6.9.0 as the hypervisor supports server & desktop virtualization  in the same cluster, which means the VDI customers could have the most HCI capabilities like 3 copies of data, non-stop upgrade, full disk data encryption.

Sangfor VDI version 5.9.0 is more friendly to large-scale scenarios, multiple VDI clusters can be unified managed by Sangfor SCP and VDI supports global VM templates across VDI clusters.

Sangfor VDI version 5.9.0 has great improvement for the restore model desktop in the AD domain environment, supports the domain configuration stored in the restore model VM and not restored.
