VDI for Clinical Researchers TEAM 2 Mimoza Dimodugno Ian Goodsell Robert McPherson Mathew Olsen Jesse Rivera 12/15/2012
Agenda • Business Objectives • Gloco Research Process • Architectural Approach • Cost / Benefits • System Functionality • Deployment Platform • Software Layering • Solution Development • Solution Deployment • User Enablement • Success Metrics • Demonstrations • End User Experience • IT Usability
Business Objectives Secure protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII) Increase security of strategically sensitive information Reduce costs associated with managing and maintaining the desktop environment Increase researcher and support staff productivity
Gloco Research Process Current Process Proposed Process
Architectural Approach • Gloco Researchers have individual needs from Enterprise ICT • To work effectively, researchers need: • High-speed access to company databases • Standard analytical software packages • Ability to install custom software • These needs are in opposition to the needs of the enterprise • Securing clinical data is of paramount importance • ICT feels it should govern what software is installed on corporate systems
System Functionality • Secure Clinical Data in Corporate Databases • Researchers Can Customize Systems • Simplify Provisioning and Maintenance of Researcher Systems • Elastic Provisioning of Researcher Systems • More Efficient Remote Access
Costs / Benefits Costs • Startup Costs: $544,520 • Recurring Annual Costs: $177,752 Benefits • Secure Sensitive Data • Annual Cost Savings: $227,755 • Operational Cost Savings • Image Management • Application Delivery • Desktop Support • Energy Savings
Solution Development Project Boundaries In scope • Complete physical infrastructure of phase one • Provide virtual desktops for the researchers • Deploy 100 thin clients for the researchers • Define researchers roles and privileges Out of scope • Managing any development of software outside VDI • Desktop refresh cycles
User Enablement Experience for researchers in virtual desktop environment will be similar to the current desktop experience Virtual desktops implementation stages: • Pilot with Ten Researchers • Generate user excitement for the new system • Build up support & department knowledge about how virtual desktops will work • Acceptance Testing • Identify any missing functionality • Final Deployment • Training • Surveys
