  7. Journey To The Cloud… 2014+ • Integrated cloud management • Holistic monitoring/diagnosis • Cross-hypervisor management • External cloud federation • Platform as a Service • Virtualization-aware applications 2010 • Utility billing/chargeback • Automation and Orchestration • Self-service portals • Storage virtualization • Client hypervisors • Mobility • Consumerization of IT • Converged Infrastructures • Policy-based management • Network/IO virtualization • Application Virtualization • Tier-1 Applications • Unplanned downtime • VDI • Resource optimization • Business continuity …Operational Savings

  8. People Are Working Differently

  9. It’s All About Consumerization

  10. Post PC Era Has Begun • Hard to convert apps • Long conversion process • Custom apps • Old apps • Multi-tier apps • Browser specific apps

  11. You will eat your VDI And you will like it!

  12. Market Dynamics

  13. Why are you considering DV? • Windows 7 Migration • Cost savings and green IT • Helpdesk efficiency / desktop management • PC lifecycle Management • User Experience • Cloud integration • BC/DR • BYOD

  14. Why Desktop Virtualization? • Management • Access • Performance • Security

  15. Desktop Virtualization Types Remote Desktop Session Host VDI Client Hypervisor App Virtualization

  16. VDI: Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops • VMs reside on servers in the data center • Server-based computing model • Centralized management, access, performance, and security • VDI “secret sauce”: • Storage • Management • User Personalization

  17. VDI: Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops • Ease of management • Power savings • Replace broken hardware with Thin Clients • Support savings • Use of existing hardware • Business continuity • Backups • Device independence • Sensitive applications VDI

  18. Remote Desktop Session Host - RDSH • Lower cost • Proven technology • Thin client computing • High ratio of users/server • Highly managed • Remote access • Eyes only security • Easy application deployment RDSH

  19. Client Hypervisors – Type 1 • Standardized HAL • Reduce initial investment • Single Windows image • Multiple VMs • Enable BYOC • Swap user machine • Easier management and update

  20. Client Hypervisors – Type 2 • Reliance on general-purpose OS • Double, triple, or quadruple number of managed VMs • Patching • Upgrading • Antivirus Client Hypervisor

  21. Application Virtualization • Legacy Application Support • Reduced Storage Requirements • Reduce/Eliminate Application Conflicts • Centralized Management • Centralized Distribution • Not all apps can be virtualized App Virtualization

  22. Horizon Mobile

  23. User Workspace Virtualization • Application Management • Simplify migration to new OS • Access to local applications • Better and smarter profile management • Tracking, reporting & compliancy

  24. Server & Desktop Virtualization: “not a mini me…” • Server Virtualization is about Consolidation, Containment & Availability • Desktop Virtualization is about Standardization & Customization • Desktops will always have exceptions • Not much CapEx savings, but Significant OpEx savings

  25. Profiling The User Community Types Of Users Mobile Users Task Users Contractors Campus Users Day Extenders Task Users Road Warriors VDI Terminal Server / Blade Workstations Client Hypervisor Type 1 & 2 Streaming On-demand Applications Client-side Computing Server-side Computing

  26. Why vSphere? • VMware View Accelerator • 4 memory management technologies • VMware VAAI (FC & NFS) • vShield Endpoint • VMware Desktop Edition Licensing VMware vSphere

  27. VMware View 5 • Persona • Improved PCoIP Performance • 75% Reduction in Bandwidth Consumption • Less than 50 Kbps usage per desktop • Client-side caching • Lossless Codec • Improved Session Resilience • Optimized WAN Performance • Teradici Offload Card

  28. Cool VMware Projects! • Project AppBlast • Project Octopus • ThinApp Factory

  29. Guidance • Start with a proper assessment • Proof Of Concept • Don’t be afraid to mix and match • Choose flexibility and features • Beware of improper storage designs • Single Instance Block Level • Design an Anti-virus strategy • Create User Buy-in for the project
