Making a Seamless Move to Windows ® 7

1. Making a Seamless Move to Windows® 7 Imagine a migration that went so well, nobody noticed.

2. Process/Timeline • PHASE I • Benchmark • Gather user data • Define success • Create project plan • PHASE II • Image Deployment • Create one Master Image • Deploy remotely • Restore with personalizations • PHASE III • Validate and • Measure Success • ID and fix performance issues • Disaster recovery and repair, as needed • Quantify success

3. Stratusphere ™ FIT • Gather user data • Define success • Create project plan

4. Horizon Mirage ™ • Create one Master Image • Deploy remotely • Restore with personalizations

5. Stratusphere ™ UX • ID and fix performance issues • Disaster recovery and repair, as needed • Quantify success

6. Process / Timeline • PHASE I • Benchmark • Gather user data • Define success • Create project plan • PHASE II • Image Deployment • Create one Master Image • Deploy remotely • Restore with personalizations • PHASE III • Validate and • Measure Success • ID and fix performance issues • Disaster recovery and repair, as needed • Quantify success

7. Benchmark with Stratusphere™ FIT • Assess and quantify machine, user, and infrastructure metrics. • Provide visibility into user persona and authored data. • Access applications for usage and master image strategy. • Define the baseline user experience. • Design base image on actual usage metrics. • Group users into appropriate tiers based on consumption.

8. Visibility Throughout Is Key • How are users spending their time? • What are they consuming? • What is the baseline user experience? Are image resources adequate and available? Are problems developing? Constraints and/or avoidable crashes ahead?

9. Summary of Benefits • Collect data automatically. Accurate data — no lost work time for users. • Reduce migration labor costs. Accurate metrics lead to accurate planning. • Save on licensing costs.Identify apps that users have but never use.

12. The BI is downloaded to one or more Branch Reflectors. Windows 7 Reference Machine CVD1 Reference CVD Base Image is captured from the Reference CVD. Branch Reflector Base Image CVD2 Horizon Mirage™ Server CVD3 Endpoints leverage Reflector to load new Base Image.

13. Summary of Benefits • Better manage and optimize image creation. Manage one Master Image vs. 300. • Achieve more migrations per day. Centralized migration operations eliminate most or all PC visits. • Avoid loss of user files. Quickly revert to original Windows XP, preserving user personalizations and data.

15. Validate with Stratusphere™ UX • Ongoing and proactive monitoring—the ability to quantify UX. • Validate image changes to ensure optimal performance. • Identify rogue entities and/or bottlenecks to quickly remediate issues. • Enable "what-if" scenarios to plan for growth and changes. • Get support for mixed VMware Mirage and VMware View environments with single pane-of-glass monitoring.

16. Measure for Success • Reporting to ensure equal-to-better user experience • At-a-glance comparison of physical machines to Mirage-managed machines • Easy to see results to quickly determine if users are reaping the benefits of the transformation

17. Summary of Benefits • Prevent unplanned downtime.Get fewer post-migration calls to the Help Desk. • Track system performance.See from the desktop to the data center, and across all networks. • Measure success. Built-in reports provide accurate ROI and TCO data.

18. What a migration looks like when you simplify the process: • Save money. Reduce migration labor costs; save on licensing costs. • Save time. Reduce user downtime during migration; manage one image instead of 300. • Use fewer resources. Centralize migration operations; manage fewer post-migration calls. • Monitor proactively. Alert administrators to issues; prevent unplanned downtime. • Keep end-users productive. Optimize performance; provision resources quickly.

19. Simplify the migration process — and execute it with speed and confidence.

20. Imagine this: You controlled your migration instead of it controlling you. Youmigrated on time and on budget — with minimal downtime and optimum performance during and after the migration.
