  1. Product Overview PCoIP Hardware Accelerator Date SPEAKER NAME Speaker Title

  2. VDI Becoming Mainstream • Rapid growth in VDI space • Business needs are driving rapid adoption • Multimedia and high end graphics are now the norm • Workload “peaks” are difficult to predict Hosted Virtual Desktop Users 33% CAGR from 2012-2016 78 MILLION Users Projected 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 HVD Forecast by Gartner 2012

  3. User Experience Challenges in VDI Deployments 1 Increased multimedia and high-end graphics usage 3 2 USER EXPERIENCE Ensure great remote user experiencewith a GPU Meeting ROI objectives

  4. VMware Horizon View User Experience Windows Desktop VM (VMware Horizon View) VM OS and Applications Host Rendered Display PCoIP Soft Encoder Send encoded pixels only to clients VMW pixel buffer ESXi Hypervisor Hardware Software rendered pixels (Soft 3D), No Hardware Accelerator

  5. Hardware Acceleration of PCoIP Windows Desktop VM (VMware Horizon View) VM OS and Applications Host Rendered Display PCoIP Soft Encoder Send encoded pixels only to clients VMW pixel buffer ESXi Hypervisor HW Accelerator Drivers Hardware Software rendered pixels plus Hardware Accelerator

  6. PCoIP Hardware Acceleratorfor VMware Horizon View • Monitors all displays and dynamically offloads up to the most active 100 • Offloads PCoIP encoding tasks from the server’s CPU Consolidation Ratio Benefit 30%-50% CPU usage reduction Consistent User Experience

  7. PCoIP Hardware Accelerator Portfolio • Accelerates up to 100 of the most active displays in a VDI server • Improves user experience and server capacity

  8. GPU in a VMware Horizon View Windows Desktop VM (VMware Horizon View) VM OS and Applications Host Rendered Display PCoIP Soft Encoder Send encoded pixels only to clients VMW pixel buffer ESXi Hypervisor GPU Pass- Through or Shared GPU Hardware GPU rendered pixels, No Hardware Accelerator

  9. PCoIP Hardware Accelerator + GPU Windows Desktop VM (VMware Horizon View) VM OS and Applications Host Rendered Display PCoIPSoft Encoder Send encoded pixels only to clients VMW pixel buffer ESXi Hypervisor GPU Pass- Through or Shared GPU HW Accelerator Drivers Hardware GPU rendered pixels Plus Hardware Accelerator

  10. Complementary, not mutually exclusive Hardware Accelerator Works with the GPU • Hardware Accelerator • GPU • Hardware Accelerator + GPU • Consistent user experience • Improves consolidation ratio • Better application compatibility and local user experience • Unlocks the full potential of the GPU experience • Frees CPU resources for applications and other users

  11. Hardware Accelerator Benefits 1 Features Benefits • Deliver best user experience • When vCPU is overloaded and cannot deliver the best user experience • When GPU is generating too many pixels for the soft encoder to handle 2 • Protect and ensure a consistent user experience • Important as workloads become more unpredictable with VDI becoming mainstream 3 • Increase consolidation ratio • Up to 2x with heavy graphics workload

  12. Graphics Acceleration in VMware Horizon View Power User High-end Workstation Power User VDI desktop Task Worker VDI desktop Knowledge Worker VDI desktop REMOTE WORKSTATION VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENT 1:1 Physical Workstations 1 GPU per user GPU Passthrough (vDGA) VDI Shared GPU (vSGA) + Image Quality / Interactivity / Cost per Seat / 2D – 3D + VDI No Graphics Acceleration (Soft 3D) Light User Fewer Applications Heavy User Many Applications Basic data entry usage Standard productivity tools Some compute intensive apps, require some graphics performance Workstation class performance for compute with dedicated graphics

  13. Benefits of GPU and Hardware Accelerator vary • Using both vSGA GPU & Hardware Accelerator provides best performance • GPU and Hardware Accelerator provide large benefits for 3D Workloads • Google Earth frame rate improves ~10x with less than half the CPU • More modest benefits for document-oriented workloads -55% 1.8fps 2.4fps CPU + APEX 11fps CPU + GPU 18fps CPU only CPU + GPU + APEX

  14. About Canadian college of applied arts and technology with 6,500+ students Challenge Needed a high-performance solution to support the graphic-intensive workloads of students Solution Teradici Hardware Accelerator, VMware View Result Ensured consistent, improved user experience and application performance Lambton College PCoIP Takes Personalized Education to a Whole New Level CASE STUDY

  15. About Provides professional technical services to government and commercial clients Challenge TSA agents needed secure mobile access to airport video surveillance files from any location Solution Teradici Hardware Accelerator, VMware View Result Forensic quality video provided the clarity and detail needed to remotely view and assess situations and enabled quick response from TSA staff Jacobs Technology Enabling a federal agency to better serve citizens with more responsive airport security CASE STUDY

  16. Summary “ The PCoIP Hardware Accelerators make performance more predictable, allowing for higher client densities. This reduces costs in the datacenter and provides a more uniform experience for our users. • Ensures deployment success for VMware Horizon View • Improve VDI consolidation ratio • Provides a consistently optimal user experience • Compatible with shared GPU support • Additional Resources • Evaluation Guide Using Login VSI • VIDEO: How is Hardware Accelerator different from a GPU? • Lambton College case study • Jacobs Technology case study • Webcast: Ensuring mission-critical VDI Server performance • www.teradici.com/hardware-accelerator “ THOMAS ANKNetwork EngineerUniversity of Portland
