Successful XenApp projects depend on making everyone happy • Users • Enable user mobility and application access • Faster logins and application performance • No session freezes • Chief Financial Officer • Lower CAPEX costs by increasing density • Tangible datacenter OPEX costs reduction • Avoid surprise cost overruns during migration • IT Organization • Simplify migration to virtualized XenApp • Upgrade to XenApp 6.5/7 with 2008R2/2012 • Increase flexibility of infrastructure
Are you migrating to XenApp 6.5/7? Citrix XenApp 5 and 6 End of Life is fast approaching
Virtualizing XenApp creates storage performance (IOPS) challenges Cost of storage keeps increasing during and after deployment PVS Write Cache sizing and growth risks Complex to scale and manage Application performance problems increase help desk calls
Historical Causes of Virtualized XenApp Project Failures • Grows with new/updated applications, more users • Cost overruns, project delays, downtime PVS Write Cache Sizing Risk • Session density limited by storage performance • Windows Server 2008 R2 doubles IOPS requirement • Virtualization causes storage traffic bottlenecks Poor Performance • Slow Logon time • Users complaining of slow application performance • Increase in help desks calls Inability to Scale
Virtualized XenApp with Atlantis ILIO Increased flexibility while addressing the risks Lower and controlled deployment Costs Addresses PVS Write Cache sizingand growth risks Deployment flexibility – easier to scale and manage Consistent performance reducesuser complaints
XenApp – Deployment Risks Sized for Office 2010 PVS Write Cache PVS Write Cache PVS Write Cache Grows when SP1 is installed Out of storage with Office 2013 Blue screen RAM Project delayed and storage costs increase
Virtualized XenApp – Flexibility and Scalability Fibre Channel Local SSD “Islands of Disk” Expensive Tier 1 SAN RAM
XenApp – User Experience Installed Atlantis ILIO ~70% Reduction
XenApp - The Impact of Atlantis ILIO Virtually unlimited IOPS of RAM 68% Reduction in Storage Costs $400K+ in Storage Savings Cost Per Desktop under $150
Atlantis ILIO for XenApp Reference Architecture Testing • Storage Reduction • 97% storage capacity consolidation • No storage or SSDs required • Density & Scalability • 200 User sessions per blade • Better-than-PC User Experience • Storage performance of 242 IOPS per session • Citrix guideline is 4 IOPS for medium workload
Case Study – Kelway • Business Challenges • Absorb acquisition headcount – grow XenApp deployment by 20% • Storage bottleneck with traditional SAN storage • Unacceptable application performance • XenApp Deployment Metrics • 1000 XenApp users across 4 physical servers • Citrix XenApp with PVS Write cache on EMC CLARiiON CX4-480 • Atlantis ILIO for XenApp In-Memory “Atlantis ILIO improved user productivity significantly, allowing us to grow our XenApp estate by 20% with NO storage and decreased our helpdesk call volume by 70%.” Jonathan Eyton-Williams Practice Lead – End User Computing at Kelway • Increased XenApp users by 20% and improved user experience • Helpdesk call volume dropped 70% two months after ILIO deployment • Customer webinar: bit.ly/kelwaywebinar
Customer Win – Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) “In our proof of concept testing Atlantis ILIO offloaded in excess of 80% IOPS. ILIO reduced the storage capacity when provisioning virtual desktops by over 85%” MEDCOM ACAV IT Equipment Hardware Purchase Document • Seven hospitals – US and Germany • 8,800 doctors and nurses • Business challenges • Clinical application virtualization across hospitals • Storage bottleneck with traditional storage for VDI • Virtual desktop performance • Solution with Citrix FlexCast, and ILIO for XenApp and VDI • ILIO selected by an HP consulting team and sold by WWT • Atlantis ILIO with HP blade servers and NetApp storage • 85% less storage • Faster login time – more time with patients
Atlantis Computing – Leading The Industry • Proven at scale – ILIO technology is powering the largest desktop virtualization deployments in the world • Highly Recognized – Multiple industry awards in 2012 and 2013 • Trusted virtualization experts to help you succeed
