  1. Driving Cost and Complexity Out of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Adrian Groeneveld - Partner Manager, UK & Nordics 31st October 2013

  2. Successful desktop projects depend on making everyone happy • Users • Enable user mobility and BYOD • Provide better-than-PC user experience • Allow access anywhere and anytime • Chief Financial Officer • CAPEX cost lower than a PC • Tangible datacenter OPEX costs reduction • Lower risk with no hidden costs • IT Organization • Simplify operations and avoid PC refresh • Proven and reliable, easy to manage • High availability and disaster recovery

  3. Virtual Desktop Challenges & Risks Managing VDI at Scale– tens of thousands of desktops Delivering a User Experience that is equal or better-than-PC Deployment Risks that derail VDI projects Costs and Complexity of storage and networking infrastructure Need for highavailabilityand rapid recoveryfrom failure and natural disasters

  4. The Virtual Desktop Storage Trap “The No. 1 challenge associated with any SHVD [VDI] project, is the lack of storage planning resulting in higher-than-expected storage costs.” “Today, storage represents 40% to 60%of the SHVD budget and, in many cases, is a barrier to entry.” “Costshould be carefully balanced with user experience.” • VDI Cost By Component Source: Attacking the High Cost of Desktop Virtualization (July 2013 Gartner ID: ID:G00250192)

  5. Atlantis ILIO - De-risking the Desktop Proven Management at Scale Faster than PC Lowers deployment risk with automation Lower Cost than a Physical PC Enables HighAvailability and Disaster Recovery

  6. Atlantis ILIO - In Memory Storage Platform Desktop Application Cloud Accelerating storage-intensive Cloud workloads Highperformance cost-effective VirtualDesktops Delivering applications at the speed of Memory Automation Management

  7. Atlantis ILIO at Work Virtual Desktops • NFS or iSCSI ILIO ILIO Diskless • Application Analysis • Inline Deduplication Atlantis ILIO Storage Optimization • Compression • Coalescing (I/O Blender Fix) • Content-Aware I/O Processing • Hypervisor Virtualization Layer Server Hardware Physical Server Storage

  8. Deployment Flexibility Fibre Channel Expensive Tier 1 SAN Local Flash RAM SAN/NAS

  9. Persistent VDI – Cost Per Desktop (1,000 user example) Virtually unlimited IOPS of RAM 70% Reduction in Storage Costs $800K+ in Storage Savings Cost Per Desktop under $300

  10. Virtual Desktops – Deployment Time “IT organizations must carefully plan and size the storage infrastructure to avoid SHVD deployment failures.” How to Implement Storage for Virtual Desktop Deployment January 2013 Gartner ID #G00229127 “Within two weeks of contacting Atlantis Computing, we deployed 1,400 virtual desktops using Atlantis ILIO deliver a significantly faster desktop experience.” Andrew Rice, Global Head of IT BLP (Berwin Leighton Paisner)

  11. The Atlantis Enabled Desktop Delivers lowest cost per desktop – faster than PC Only solution for VDI and XenApp with “NO storage” 4 to 10 times more users on any shared storage or SSD/Flash Reduce project risks & human errors with automation and simplification Migrate from Persistent to Stateless with no infrastructure changes …all delivered with just software

  12. Round Table Breakouts - with Jim Moyle, CTP • Session 1 Atlantis ILIO - Beneath the Covers A technical drill down into Atlantis ILIO and the different architecture and deployment models, followed by a live demonstration • Session 2 Virtual Desktop Architectures Q&A A no-nonsense overview of the different desktop deployment models and your chance to get straight answers to your questions • Session 3 Open Forum Discussion After a day of information this is a great forum to make sense of it all. Jim Moyle has 20 years experience working with virtual desktop technology so there isn’t much he hasn’t experienced
