Where Do They Add-Value? – Diverse Compute Models

Shared Desktops (Terminal Services / Citrix)

Physical Desktops (Rich/Thick clients)

Virtual Desktops (VDI)

Why SEV? 1. SOE images are too large

and complex 2. Different groups have

different provisions 3. User-based software

delivery 4. License management & re-

harvesting

Why SEV? 1. Physically installed apps

contaminate the base 2. Multiple copies of apps take

up storage 3. Different groups have

different provisions 4. Traditional ESD not fast

enough for VDI

Why SEV? 1. Physically installed apps

contaminate the server farm

2. Storage issue – want single instance

3. Different groups have different provisions

4. Traditional ESD not fast enough for TS / Citrix

McKinsey Application Virtualization History

Statistics Virtualized over 100 applications, like SAS, Lotus Notes, MS Office

License model CMS customer since 2005, introduced SWV together with a OS migration to Windows 7

Consulting Company 16.000 employees with 75% mobile users in over 100 locations worldwide

Biggest Challenge Deploy a 3.5GB Office 2010 layer with multiple sub layers to McKinsey

9


Top three reasons for Mckinsey to use SWV

10

SWV provides IT a solution to package very complex software packages which are very easy to deploy to the end-user, without interrupting the user

End-user experience

SWV helped to solve application problems, OS migration

- Office 2003 and Office 2010

- Windows 7 and incompatible software (XP only)

Application Problems

To reset a layer to its original state is very useful for our Heldesk to help the user in seconds to get up and running again
