  5. VMware Capacity Planner: What We Have • Good Reporting • Pretty • Easy to Read • Quick to Generate • Environment Summary • Consolidation Results

  6. Cosmetic: New Style Fresh Look • Background • Logo • Login Screen • Header • Menu Navigation

  7. Cosmetic: Charts and Graphs Inventory Screens • Logo • Login Screen • Header • Menu Navigation

  8. Cosmetic: Menu Reorganization Good Reporting • Dashboards • Inventory • Performance • Analyze • Reports • Assessment Tools • Administration • IW Admin

  9. Security Model: User Groups

  10. Security Model: Templates

  11. Complete Assessment Flow

  12. New Application Analysis

  13. Collect: Desktop Inventory • Inventory • Printers • Video / Monitor • OS/App Storage • Data Storage • Removable Storage • PnP Peripheral Devices • # User Profiles • Terminal Services

  14. Collect: Desktop Usage • Utilization • Application Usage • CPU (Sys and Usr) • Mem (RSS and Virtual) • Disk I/O • Network I/O • %/Raw Time Used • %/Raw Install Count by User • %/Raw Execution Count by User • User Usage • Logon Time • Disk Space

  15. App Analysis: Building Software Profiles • Adding Qualifiers • Works Well With • VM Template • ThinApp • RDP • Sharable Resources • Base Memory • Base Disk Space Requirements • Reclaimed When Virtualized • Software Type • Application • Patch • Device Driver • Component • Other • Matching Apps • Treat Multiple Versions as the Same • Complex Conditions • Application Properties • Service Properties • Process Properties

  16. Approved OS/Apps Common App Analysis: Examining Application Installation • Use Software Profiles • Real Applications • Makes Application List Manageable • Enhanced Qualities • Shows Application Relationship • OS and Application Count Analysis • Not a performance analysis • Only approved application • Minimizes Image count • Approved Software used by Analysis engine for filtering load • Software Qualities • General Application Properties • Compatibility • Sharable Memory • Disk Size • System Count and Percentages

  17. Work Starts Laptop is Shutdown Work Starts Meetings Screen Saver Using 40% CPU High Load at Night Real Usage Working Hard Go Home Go Home App Analysis: Removing Load

  18. App Analysis: Before Software Profiles • Trash • GUIDs • COM Components • Patches • Drivers • Bad Formatting • Missing Information • Pre-MSI • Version Number • Vendor

  19. App Analysis: After Software Profiles • Control • Only Applications that Matter • Better Information • Approve • Standardization • Merging Application Versions • Upgrading Applications • Statistics • Population Usage • Applications Seen Together Often

  20. App Analysis: Creating Base Images Installed Software • Mapping Users to Applications • Based on Installation Opposing Goals • Maximize License Counts • Minimize Desktop Configurations Solutions • Application Ranking • Cluster Algorithm • ThinApp Two Ways • Automatic • Number of Images • Manual Approved Applications Base Images Image 1 Image 2 ThinApp

  21. App Analysis: Creating Base Images (Manual) • Image Control • Set Operating System • Quick Analysis of Remaining Applications • ThinApp Applications • Pick a Starting Point • Base Memory • Image Score • Fill %

  22. App Analysis: Creating Base Images (Manual) • Installation Matrix • Ranked By Installation Count • By Software Profile • Each Square Represents an Installation of an Application on a Single System • Percentile Zones • Control % Application Coverage • Control % System Coverage • Auto-maximize area • Percentage of Systems with Same Application • Percentage of Applications

  23. User Analysis: Creating VM Templates • User Capacity Needs • When they work • How many documents do the work with • How large are the documents • Do they open and shutdown applications often • Creating Templates • Use the Approved Templates as a starting point • Build a template with different vCPU and Mem for each group of user

  24. User Analysis: Creating VM Templates

  25. Placement Analysis: Source Selection • Choosing the Right Systems • Only Desktop Chassis Types • Only Desktop OSs • Desktops without Application XYZ • Desktops in Location ABC • Desktops Owned By “John’s Department”

  26. Placement Analysis: Placement Rules • VM Template Sizing • Processor • Memory • Disk Space • Memory Optimization • Reclaim Fixed Percent • Reclaim Removed Applications • Reclaim Base in Profile • Storage Optimization • vStorage • ThinApp • Already There • Cross Boundaries • Virtualization • Merge Architectures • Redeployment • Thresholds • Reuse Rules

  27. Analysis: Reporting Results • Usage Information • Est. Host Utilization • Est. Virtual Machine Utilization • Images • Base Images • VM Templates • ThinApp List • Placement • Users Mapped to VM Templates • Desktops VMs Mapped to Hosts

  28. Placement Analysis: Results • Size to Build • Host Capacity • VM Size • Estimated Utilization • CPU • Memory • Disk • Network • Where To Put • VM to Host Mapping

  29. Assessments Improved Dashboard Pages Filters Showing Charts w/ Tables Additional Inventory Cleaning Up Applications Using Software Profiles Application Installation Generating Base Images Creating VM Templates Generating VM Templates Placing Desktops to the Best Location Summary of Features • Software Profiles • Application Cleanup • Application Properties • Improved Collection • Desktops Only • Video • Printers • Special Devices
