\"XenDesktopIn my previous article<\/a> you\u2019ve read about my aversion against the term VDI. The introduction of Citrix XenDesktop 7<\/a> showed us that delivery of  applications and desktops from shared and<\/strong> private computers are now integrated in one product. This requires us to explain the difference between shared <\/strong>versus private <\/strong>instead of XenApp<\/strong> versus XenDesktop, <\/strong>so now really<\/em> is the time to start using new (and proper) terminology.<\/p>\n

In the previous virtual desktop word bingo article<\/a> I\u2019ve asked you if you <\/strong>think we should abandon the term VDI, 61%<\/strong> agreed while 26%<\/strong> disagreed. The response showed that a lot of readers agree the term VDI is \u201cincorrect<\/em>\u201d but replacing the term will be tough<\/strong>. Nonetheless I strongly believe we, as the community \/ experts, should strive to replace \u201cVDI\u201d with more future ready terminology.  <\/p>\n

XenDesktop 7<\/font><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Although you might expect Citrix<\/strong> would come up with proper naming (as they tend to rename products \/ features quite frequently) the feature matrix (link<\/a>) shows a mix of vague terminology. What I do like is that they\u2019ve introduced a XenDesktop App edition which entitles you to host applications on a shared (server OS) and private (desktop OS) computer!<\/p>\n

HSCI and HPCI<\/font><\/h1>\n

In the previous article I suggested to use the terms Hosted Shared Computer Infrastructure (HSCI) and Hosted Private Computer Infrastructure (HPCI). 49% <\/strong>of the voters agreed on replacing the terms SBC \/ VDI with HPCI \/ HPSI while 43%<\/strong> disagreed, so we agree to disagree<\/em>. I admit the abbreviations HSCI and HPCI aren’t as sexy as VDI, a three letter abbreviation might be simpler.<\/p>\n

Gunnar Berger (@gunnarwb<\/a>) informed me that Gartner<\/a> still<\/em> uses the SBC term where I suggested HSCI and Server Hosted Virtual Desktops (SHVD) where I suggest Hosted Private Computer Infrastructure (HPCI)  to replace VDI. 
\"Gloeilampje\"I like the fact that Gartner (the company that inflict us with hypes like \u201ccloud\u201d in their hype cycle) are not using VDI!<\/em><\/p>\n

Gunnar continued telling me that at a Synergy  presentation he explained the audience he considers a SHVD a virtual desktop and SBC a session.  
\"Gloeilampje\"<\/em> This got me frowning, so an application\/desktop on a private computer is not a session? I don\u2019t see the logic in here.<\/em><\/p>\n

He ended by saying that application virtualization are not \u201cvirtual applications\u201d but containerized applications. 
 \"Gloeilampje\"<\/em> I like that! It prevents the misused \u201cvirtual\u201d word and makes sense IMHO.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VDI and SBC are out, in with the new terms<\/font><\/h1>\n

While the purpose of the previous article was to convince you the the VDI is utterly wrong, badly chosen, misplaced and just plain stupid (just kidding, but you get the point),  with this article I want to take the next step: agree on a new term.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To reach global adoption of the new term we should collaborately agree on, use and advocate the new term. In order to agree on a new term I\u2019ve added a number of polls below. In case you miss a word or have any other suggestions just leave a comment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where the real word bingo begins! <\/font><\/h1>\n

For each position choose the terms that describe the solution best. Whatever get the most votes, will be the new term to describe SBC \/ VDI. So\u2026.<\/p>\n

If you answer B-A-C-A the term \u201chosted shared computer infrastructure (HSCI)\u201d is used to replace SBC and \u201chosted private computer infrastructure (HPCI)\u201d for VDI. <\/p>\n

If you answer A-A-A-C the term \u201cremote shared computer (RSC) \u201d is used to replace SBC and \u201dremote private computer (RPC)\u201d for VDI<\/p>\n
