  2. The Company • Privately held, HQ in Atlanta, GA 17 people R&D, Support, Ops • Presence in US Central 5 Sales & US Northeast 3 Sales, Switzerland 3 Sales • Leadership team comprised of virtualization industry veterans fromVizioncore, Dunes, Foedus, vmSight(Virtualization experience since 2002) • Initial solution offerings provided a combination of software and methodologies to intelligently assess desktop and application viability for virtualization “The on-ramp to VDI"

  3. LWL Key Milestones 2009 • LWL Founded – March 2009 • LWL acquisition ofvmSight- April 2009 • LWL announces Apache Partner Program – May 2009 • Approaching 50 VMware and Citrix partners as of October 2009 • Closed deals with Cigna, Cisco, VMware and USAA – As end users • Launch of 4.1 product with assessment capability – June 2009 • Acquisition of Entrigue Systems – August 2009 • Finalist Best of VMworld – September 2009 • Managed VDI Partnership launch • Perot/Dell first to sign on • HP • Chosen as desktop monitoring solution for “A Financial Bank” with 55,000 Desktop over 18 months – October 2009 • Invited into partnership talks with VMware, Perot, Dell, Citrix, Cisco, CA • August through October 2009 • Announcement of 4.5 product to be generally available October 26th 2009

  4. Solution Overview • User Experience (UX) Management – Methodology and solutions to deliver the best available current and next generation desktop experience. • Accelerating Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI), Application Virtualization and next generation desktop strategies • The company's Stratusphere™ software platform provides organizationspreviously unattainable visibility into the configuration, usage and performanceof their virtual (and physical) desktop infrastructure and deployments • The company’s ProfileUnity™ solution accelerates and automates critical components of the desktop lifecycle and improves user experience “The on-ramp to VDI"

  5. Most known for… Accelerating the Adoption & Consumption of VDI Enabling the ON-RAMP to VDI Software, Methodology, Partner Services Stratusphere™ Platform removes “speed bumps” to VDI adoption: (while lowering costs on existing non VDI candidates) VDI Fit Metrics Design Information User Experience Metrics Data Migration Capability Virtual Infrastructure Performance Metrics

  6. LWL’s Secret Sauce “Caller ID” fingerprints user and device IDs on connections • Small software agent embeds in thin clients, kiosks, virtual desktops • Real-time inside virtual network • Other uses not covered in this preso: • Call Tracking (QoS, security) • Call Blocking (QoS, security) • Call Prioritization (QoS) • Call Metering (utility billing) US Patent 7,386,889 …15 patents pending – 4 Patents Awarded Today!

  7. The MarketThis preso focuses on Desktop Virtualization (VDI or App Virt.)

  8. On-Demand Virtual Desktops: Poised for Explosive Growth “Current deployments of hosted virtual desktops are limited, although many companies are piloting and testing. Based on feedback from more than 300 user organizations since 2006, Gartner estimates current live user seats at 75,000. User license sales are approximately triple this number and are expected to exceed 300,000 by the end of 2008, suggesting further deployments and growing user numbers for deployments during the remainder of the year. Many companies have indicated aggressive deployment plans, pointing to a significant acceleration in the hosted virtual-desktop market during 2009. Hosted virtual-desktop user license sales are likely to exceed 1.5 million by the end of 2009. In many cases, organizations will combine a move toward hosted virtual desktops with other rework of their desktop environment, particularly operating-system migration. By 2013, approximately 15% of business desktop users (who work from a single location) in mature markets will move to this model, amounting to as many as 50 million users.”Brian Grammage, Mark A. MargaviciusVirtual-Desktop Deployments Are Set to Accelerate July 28, 2008 Does not take into account other explosive growth opportunities: Virtual Desktops to Consumers (potential SI/SP play) On-Demand Applications on top of Virtual Infrastructure

  9. On-Demand Virtual Desktops: Poised for Explosive Growth “Goldman Sachs Software Research team believes desktop virtualization can grow from less than $100 million in 2007 to $1.4 billion by 2011 in a conservative scenario and up to 2.4 billion in 2011 using slightly more aggressive penetration assumptions. Key Drivers: Access, management, and security; cost over time. Hurdles to overcome: ROI, complexity, licensing and end user experience.

  10. VDI Barriers to adoption Source:The Register

  11. We Are Witnessing a Rapid Transformation of End User Computing Desktop-as-a-Service / Cloud Computing On-Demand Desktops and ApplicationsWith Virtualization at Every Layer Application Virtualization Servers On-Demand Application Servers • Key Problems: • Education/Knowledge • How and where do I start? • How do I migrate user data and profiles • How do I measure end user performance Virtual Desktops (VDI)

  12. Challenges & Barriers to Widespread VDI Adoption Are you selecting the right desktops to be virtualized? Are you confident if your Virtual Infrastructure Design is viable? Can you migrate user profiles and data easily? Can you measure and monitor user experience? Can you identify issues at the user, machine, application, network, and storage level? Can you monitor latency of access to network resources and performance of storage? Are you wasting too much time troubleshooting slowness, bottlenecks, issues?
