The Workspace Market Transition Is Accelerating
• The worldwide hosted virtual desktop (HVD) market will accelerate through 2014 to reach 70 million units = 15% of Enterprise desktops/laptops*
• In 2011 47% of Enterprises have initiated Desktop Virtualization projects — but only 3% desktop penetration*
• 7 Billion new wireless devices by 2015 * Gartner Group
Desktop Virtualization
• Desktop-centric service that hosts users on remote Servers.
• Accessed over a network using a remote display protocol - connection brokering service
• Centralized Resources – Centralized Management • Access via LAN or WAN or Extreme WAN
Two Types fo VDI environments
: In
A server located in a data center hosts virtual machines. Users connect to the server via connection brokers and receive their user interface via standard protocols, such as Remote Desktop Protocol
Hosted desktop virtualization
“hypervisor” software installed on the client device allows one desktop to run multiple operating systems.
Client virtualization
Common Concerns
Traditional Desktop Deployment
Drivers for Desktop Virtualization
User End point and
Application Demands
Lost Agility & Productivity
Data Security
Compliance
High TCO and Lifecycle Costs
Heavy Administration
Microsoft Windows 7 Migration Reduce migration costs Reduce application incompatibility Extend life of existing desktop software
Contractors and Employee-Owned IT Manage desktop image on
employee-owned assets Provide separation between
corporate and personal desktops
Business Continuity Endpoint Independence Rapid Provisioning
Secure Anywhere, Anytime, Any Device Enable desktop access regardless of
network connection type Extend security and control Centrally control sensitive data
Challenges of Traditional PC Environment Other Business Drivers
Business Process Outsourcing Reduce costs by managing
desktop applications and users centrally Centrally control sensitive data Streamline desktop/application mgmnt
Myths on VDI
VDI is Difficult challenging both to deploy correctly and to keep working
VDI is Costly requiring a large investment in servers, software, network upgrades, etc
VDI is Disruptive demanding a new set of skills for your IT staff and retraining of users.
VDI is Limited suffering from the same user experience limitations as terminal services.
VDI ROI is Illusive demanding upfront capital expenses that make a positive ROI unlikely
VDI Benefits
Security Management & Control Reduced Costs / TCO? Highly Available Desktop Environments Ability to provision PCs Centrally Agility BYOD
Going further with VDI benefits
VDI improves productivity VDI is a good investment Recovery Point
VDI need not require user retraining
VDI can support most workloads
VDI savings build quickly

Virtualization - Server
Data Center Unified Computing SystemOptimized Infrastructure for Desktop Virtualization
• Lower cost for compute + network infrastructure
• Greater virtual desktop density w/o performance impact
• Simple Operation—start in minutes, scale in seconds
• Massive Scalability—scales easily to 1000’s of desktops per UCS system
• Extended memory and I/O to avoid desktop virtualization bottlenecks
