  1. How to Optimize Desktop Virtualization with Thin Computing Ken Shipman Canadian Country Manager Wyse Tecynology

  2. Agenda • The Challenges with current Desktop Architectures • Desktop Virtualization: How Does it Work? • Complexities with the Architecture • Why a TC is better than a PC? • The Wyse Solution

  3. The Challenges with Current Desktop Architectures

  4. What is the Challenge With Computing Today? Cost of acquisition Information Security Cost of software deployment and maintenance Cost of hardware deployment and maintenance Manageability of multiple applications Complexity and vulnerability to attack

  5. Desktop Virtualization: How Does It Work?

  6. Understanding Desktop Virtualization • Flexible provisioning of hardware resources • Flexible access (anywhere, anytime) • Centralized management and provisioning of OS • Completely isolated environment RDP Consolidates and centralizes complete desktop environments within the data center Blade ServersRunning VMware ESX

  7. Complexities with the Architecture

  8. Complexities with the Architecture End User Desktop device: PC Server Limitations of protocols Virtual Machines Running XP Pro Connection Broker Device Management

  9. Why a TC is a Better than a PC?

  10. Security / Privacy Compliance Manageability Reliability Rapid Deployment Thin Computing Addresses the Challenges Head On Cost Benefits Business Benefits 40% Reduction HW and SW costs 29% Reduction IT operations costs 88% Reduction worker downtime 78% Increase IT staff productivity Source: Gartner Inc (8/05), IDC (11/05), and Wyse Estimates

  11. Energy Efficiency • Reduce energy usage by up to 90% • Less materials used in manufacture • Lower transportation costs • Longer service life • Fewer parts to recycle • 90% reduction in e-waste 70 – 150 watts 6.6 watts Combine with server virtualisationand energy managementfor maximum savings

  12. Relevance of the Desktop Device Requirements should be: • Compact, low energy, heat and noise • Simple and compact Client OS • low administration, high security • resistance against viruses and other security risks

  13. Relevance of the Desktop Device • Highest possible performance with RDP / ICA • Support for relevant connection brokers • Connection of local peripherals with SBC environment • Powerful multimedia support and/or VoIP

  14. The Wyse Solution

  15. Wyse Thin Client Hardware Choices

  16. Wyse Thin Client Hardware Choices

  17. Wyse Virtualization Software • TCX Multi-display • Manage Multiple displaysconnected to a Wyse client • V class, G class, X class

  18. TCX USB Virtualizer For Virtual Desktop Environments Virtualizes USB ports on the TC to the VM OS All Wyse thin clients Wyse Virtualization Software

  19. TCX Multimedia Accelerates Audio and video Mpeg1, Mpeg2 WMV, WMA MPEG4 Part2 XVID, Divx AC3, AAC, MP3 WAV V class, G class, X class Platform independent Wyse Virtualization Software

  20. Typical CPU and Network Utilization • Server VM to client video playback (no TCX Multimedia) causes heavy use of the server CPU and network bandwidth

  21. TCX Multimedia CPU and Network Utilization • Adding Wyse TCX Multimedia, reduces CPU and network bandwidth utilization significantly

  22. Results – Server CPU Utilization – WMV Video • Test #1 – Playing Amazon-2.wmv video over RDP • Typical • 15 VMs playing media file consume server CPU with 97% utilization • With Wyse TCX Multimedia • 15 VMs playing media file consume 88% less CPU at 12% utilization • 65 VMs playing media file only consume 86% of CPU • Up to 800% improvement in server scalability Server CPU Utilization Number of XP VMs

  23. Wyse Thin Client Extensions is part of ESX

  24. Customers using Wyse Thin Clients and VMWare • Education Universities, Primary schools boards • Banks and Financial institutions • Insurance Companies • Government Federal and Municipal • Healthcare sector Hospitals and Clinics

  25. SUMMARYWyse Thin Client overcomes restrictions to Transport ProtocolWyse Thin Client saves electricityWyse Thin Client has higher MTBF than PCWyse Thin Client costs lessWyse Thin Client offers longer life cycleWyse Maximizes performance; reduces Investment
