  1. How to Propose VDI to a Non-Technical Audience

  2. About HVE ConneXions Company Overview

  3. HVE Engineering and Architecture • Manageable, Scalable, Reproducible and Predictable (MSRP) solutions • Scalable for large enterprise deployments or small businesses • Stateless “Liquid” Virtual Desktop • SSL encrypted connections

  4. Key Features of VDI

  5. What is VDI and what can it do for us? • VDI stands for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and is also referred to as desktop virtualization • Virtualization software such as VMware vSphere is used to create virtual desktops that can be accessed from nearly anywhere and from almost any device • The Virtual Desktop can be accessed from thin and thick devices and from Windows, Mac And Linux OS’s. Desktop can also be accessed from certain Smartphone devices as well. • Makes BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) initatives simpler to implement • Reduces overall maintenance and complexity (if done right) • 24/7 access to virtual desktop, on and off campus

  6. Out With the Old In With the New

  7. Bits and Bytes • Processor cores • Clock speeds • RAM • Interface speeds

  8. Dollars and Cents

  9. Realistic ROI Reduced datacenter power consumption with HVE VDI Appliances vs. Legacy VDI systems Reduced end-user power consumption with zero-clients “Instead of having 400 PCs sucking power on campus, we’ll instead put six or eight servers in the datacenter. That saves $50,000 the first year. Looking 5 and 10 years down the road, the utility, capital and management cost savings continue to magnify as we virtualize more desktops, and our datacenter too.” –Brooks Moore, DCS Technology Help Desk Manager, Aledo ISD

  10. Save on OpEx • With linked clone architecture, there is virtually no down time for updates and patches • Specialized pools can be created for standardized testing (no reimaging machines for testing) • Centralized management of multiple systems and applications reduces time spent on common administrative tasks • In case of hardware failure, virtual desktops can be restarted on other physical machines

  11. Legacy VDI Vs. VDI Appliance – Cost Comparison Legacy VDI – 125 Concurrent VDI Users HVE VDI Appliances – 700 Concurrent VDI Users

  12. HVE VDI Costs Analysis that Makes Sense HVE Virtual Desktop costs vs. Physical Desktop (TCO Only) Cost Per Desktop Number of Desktops

  13. HVE Saves Money on Virtual Infrastructures • The more money school districts can save on next-generation technologies within the infrastructure allows for next-generation technology to be delivered to students and teachers: • Tablets • Smart Classrooms • Advanced Technology Labs • Enhanced tools for learning
