  1. Ceedo Desktop Dynamic Desktop Composition

  2. What is Ceedo Desktop? • A smart driver that intercepts and redirects R/W functions at runtime • Transparently integrate with corporate-desktop management tools and platforms • Overcomes limitations of current virtualization solutions used forboth physical and cloud PCs Modular desktop composition at file-level

  3. How does Ceedo Desktop work? • Smart-decision engine diverts all R/W calls to a storage medium separated from the OS Modular desktop composition at file-level Base Applications File System Registry Apps & Drivers Customizations Files and Data User CDML activated at logon or boot Operating System Ceedo Desktop Driver

  4. How does Ceedo Desktop work? • Smart-decision engine diverts all R/W calls to a storage medium separated from the OS • File System and Registry I/O are converged at runtime creating avirtual composite of C:\ • No limitations of Applicationand User virtualization Modular desktop composition at file-level CDML:Ceedo Desktop Modular Layers in network folders Base Applications File System Registry Apps & Drivers Customizations Files and Data User CDML activated at logon or boot Operating System Ceedo Desktop Driver

  5. Best implementation candidates Main focus of this presentation • Cloud PC (VDI/DaaS…) • Improve management and reduce storage • Enterprise/public PCs • Locked-down endpoints + user freedom • Server-to-cloud real-time backup • Incremental file-level upload over WAN

  6. The main problems we solve “…the biggest challenge to [VDI] has been storage costs. And, as such, VDI has only been deployed in mission critical, high performance or task worker environments…” - Pat Gelsinger, VMwareCEO(May 8th 2013) “It’s the management software that has emerged around the major desktop virtualization platforms that is key, including… user profile [and] Layering technologies [which] reduce the complexity in managing desktop virtualization environments, as well as the strain on storage systems through dynamic desktop image composition.” - Karin Kelley, 451 Research • Extreme reduction in both IOPS-capable and regular storage CAPEX. • Modular composition of separately managed desktop slices

  7. The VDI issue – deployment type tradeoffs TCO &ROI UserExperience Logon Logoff and logon again Restart What users want Stateful: dedicatedFull session persistence like physical PC Persistent Persistent Natural user personalization – but very high CAPEX and TCO Stateless: pooled-dedicatedSession persistence until reboot Persistent Reset to base What IT wants Bad user personalization – But low CAPEX and easy management Stateless:pooled-randomNo session persistence at all Reset to base Reset to base

  8. Ceedo Desktop – the best of both worlds TCO &ROI UserExperience Logon Logoff and logon again Restart What users want Stateful: dedicatedFull session persistence like physical PC Natural user personalization – but very high CAPEX and TCO Ceedo Desktop – The best of both worlds:Full user personalization based on a single-image in random pooled mode Stateless: pooled-dedicatedSession persistence until reboot What IT wants Bad user personalization – But low CAPEX and easy management Stateless:pooled-randomNo session persistence at all

  9. Ceedo Desktop for VDI – Version 1 Eliminating Virtual Desktop Infrastructure adoption barriers

  10. Ceedo Desktop Version 1 - architecture overview • CDMLs stored in network file share in encrypted containers • Random-pooled desktops boot • Virtualization activated on user logon according to username • Volume letter – redundant • 95% of applications supported for post log-on attach Network File Share User4 CDML \%username% User3 CDML \%username% User2 CDML \%username% User1 CDML \%username% Virtual C:\ VDI architecture by VMware, Citrix, Microsoft, etc.

  11. Ceedo Desktop Benefits (version 1) • Run everything in random pooled mode • All but eliminate yearly expanding storage needs • Single-image stateless deployment with modular desktop composition • Allows for safer and easier to manage 100% random pooled VDI • No extra VHDs, base images and differencing disks sprawl • Accessible file-level format in encrypted containers • Eliminates the need for user profile management tools

  12. Ceedo Desktop for VDI – Version 2 Eliminating Virtual Desktop Infrastructure adoption barriers

  13. How does Ceedo Desktop work? • Read/Write + Read Only CDMLs • Ceedo Desktop diverts all R/W calls to locations separated from the OS • File System and Registry I/O are converged at runtime creating avirtual composite of C:\ • No limitations of Applicationand User virtualization Modular desktop composition at file-level CDMLs:Ceedo Desktop Modular Layers in VHD/network folders

  14. Ceedo Desktop Version 2 - architecture overview • Desktops in random-pool, boot with Org. CDML and optionallyDepartment CDMLs. • Desktops running waiting for user logon. • User logon • According to Active Directory or Connection Broker settings, user role and personal CDML attach. • Ceedo Desktop converges the stack • Only write-cache runs on SSDs/RAM Disk, read continues from storage (even a regular user folder…) • Log-off restarts the machine waiting for next user… Read Only layers shared between users (can run from normal storage) Read/Write (IOPS capable) User Personal CDML User-roles CDMLs Departments CDMLs Golden OS Image Organizational CDML Virtual C:\ VDI architecture by VMware, Citrix, Microsoft, etc.

  15. Ceedo Desktop Benefits (version 1) • Up to 80% reduction in backend storage • Up to 60% reduction in runtime high-IOPS capable storage • Eliminate yearly expanding storage needs • Single-point of application updates • Random pooled VDI with no image sprawl • Mixed shared VHDs and encrypted containers

  16. Ceedo Desktop - design guidelines Top Priority • End-User experience • Minimize (optimize) IOPS-capable storage needs • Eliminate image sprawl and streamline Desktop and User Environment Management • Utilize existing storage as much as possible Ease Ceedo Desktop adoption • Keep the old concepts and tools • Minimum management • Support command-line and scripts (PowerShell) • No SMB nanny-features User experience and traditionallayering concepts still rule 32% use current non-dedicated storage in their VDI 82% use traditional tools todeploy applications SMB market is not expectedto adopt VDI in the short-term IT likes it the old fashion way
