Our primary reasons for doing this were a mix of aiming to reduce cooling costs and energy footprints, as well as replacing aging servers.  [Read More](https://blog.ncst.com/is-it-time-for-you-to-virtualize) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.ncst.com/is-it-time-for-you-to-virtualize#comments-listing) Topics: [Virtualized Users](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/virtualized-users) ## [Power Users & CAD/Multimedia Users](https://blog.ncst.com/power-users-cad-multimedia-users) Posted by [Scott Drucker](https://blog.ncst.com/author/scott-drucker) on Feb 27, 2015, 7:00:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.ncst.com/hs-fs/hub/424090/file-2512704956.jpg)](https://blog.ncst.com/power-users-cad-multimedia-users) **Final Entry Of A Multi-Part Series** **POWER USERS** Over the past week, I have been discussing the various kinds of workers who are likely to be impacted by virtualization. Power Users, like the more senior Knowledge Workers discussed in the last blog, generally are tough challenges for virtualization. These are the folks that require the power of a desktop, the proprietary peripherals, and resource intensive software applications.  [Read More](https://blog.ncst.com/power-users-cad-multimedia-users) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.ncst.com/power-users-cad-multimedia-users#comments-listing) Topics: [VDI](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/vdi), [Virtualized Users](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/virtualized-users) ## [Part 4: Task Workers & Knowledge Workers](https://blog.ncst.com/task-workers-knowledge-workers) Posted by [Scott Drucker](https://blog.ncst.com/author/scott-drucker) on Feb 25, 2015, 11:09:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.ncst.com/hs-fs/hub/424090/file-2512826083.png)](https://blog.ncst.com/task-workers-knowledge-workers) **Part Four of a Multi-Part Blog Series** As I mentioned in Parts 1, 2 & 3 of this blog series, when a company expresses the intent to move toward virtualization, it is prudent to ask them if they have an idea, or better yet a list, of the users and type of users that they intend to virtualize. The questions quickly pop up, including what type of worker do you recommend we start with on the way to full virtualization? l have discussed the differences between a deployment with Persistent Desktops versus Non-Persistent Desktops, Linked Clones versus Full Clones, and Kiosk Workers.

It seems that the minute that question leaves my mouth, a series of questions pop up, including what type of workers are there for VDI? Is there a type that shouldn’t be included or virtualized?
