  2. Agenda • Introduction to “The Cloud” • Virtualization Concepts • End User Computing Virtualization Overview • MISD Current Implementation of “The Cloud” • MISD End User Computing (Legacy VDI and New HVE VDI) • Support and Troubleshooting in the MISD Cloud • Steps Moving Forward

  3. Private vs. public vs. hybrid Clouds Introduction to “The Cloud”

  4. What is “The Cloud”? • The Cloud is composed of 3 basic services: • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)- Virtualized infrastructure is used to provide pre-provisioned virtual resources (servers, databases, applications, etc.). Policy-based automation allows fast provisioning of resources while maintaining security. • Platform as a Service (PaaS)-Provides application developers a virtual platform for their programs. This allows them to create apps that run in the Cloud, not on local machine. Since the apps are optimized for the cloud, and use resources from the cloud, the end-user experience is completely seamless. • Software as a Service (SaaS)-Software that is provided by a 3rd party, and accessed through web browser (i.e. Google Docs) • The Cloud is completely controlled by IT, but completely on-demand for users on any device from anywhere

  5. Private Vs. Public Vs. Hybrid Cloud Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud Private Cloud All hardware and software used to create the cloud are internal to the organization. Some parts of the environment are hosted internally, and some by a third party. Applications can be moved between the private and public clouds as needed. A third party provider hosts the hardware and software required to create the cloud. The organization still has complete control over the environment.

  6. Virtual machines and virtual infrastructure Virtualization Concepts

  7. Virtual Machines • A virtual machine is a software container that runs it’s own operating system and applications just like a physical computer. It has it’s own virtual hardware (motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard disks, etc.), so the OS, apps, and other computers can’t tell it’s not a physical machine. Virtualization Layer

  8. The Virtualization Layer • Directly On Top of Hardware • On Top of Operating System Virtualization Layer Virtualization Layer

  9. Virtual Infrastructure • Combine servers, network, and storage resources from the entire datacenter into one pool. • Pooled resources let applications get the resources needed when they’re needed. • Dynamic access to resources means more can be accomplished with existing infrastructure. Virtualization Layer The first step toward “The Cloud”

  10. Vdi, byod, and beyond End User Computing Virtualization Overview

  11. What is VDI? • VDI stands for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and is also referred to as desktop virtualization • Virtualization software such as VMware vSphere is used to create virtual desktops that can be accessed from nearly anywhere and from almost any device • Better security with all data stored in the datacenter and none on local machines

  12. The VDI Backbone • For VDI to work you must have sufficient: • IOPs (read and write input/output performance per second) • CPU compute power • Memory • If any one of these is lacking, the overall experience will be poor

  13. Traditional Vs. Next-Gen VDI Architecture Traditional VDI Next-Gen VDI

  14. Advantages of VDI in Education Profile OS OS OS OS OS Data Persona Persona Persona Persona Persona Apps Apps Apps Apps Apps • Vmware View Composer allows separation of Persona, Apps, and OS without changing the end user experience • The Virtual Desktop can be accessed from thin and thick devices and from Windows, Mac And Linux OS’s. Desktop can also be accessed from certain Smartphone devices as well.

  15. And how hve is solving them Problems with VDI

  16. Some VDI Issues • In order to work properly the VDI environment must have sufficient IOPs, CPU, and Memory. • Without enough power end-user graphic performance may be poor • Without proper architecture, access to apps is difficult • If infrastructure is lacking, storing user data and user preferences can be problematic • Getting enough Compute and Storage power can be expensive leading to a poor ROI and high TCO

  20. Questions?

  21. Where we’re at today MISD Current Implementation of “The Cloud”

  22. MISD’s Current Cloud

  23. Legacy VDI and new hvevdi MISD End User Computing

  24. MISD’s Current End User Computing • Cisco UCS currently supporting about 100 desktops • Currently maxed out • High cost to upgrade for more users • 9 HVE Appliances supporting about 740 desktops • Easy and fast upgrade to support more users • Low cost of expansion

  25. Keeping things running in the MISd cloud Support and Troubleshooting

  26. Local Desktop Support • Reduced on-site work required • When support is needed, Virtual Desktops behave like physical desktops
