Market Views

“Virtualization is the most important technology to hit the corporate PC space since the thin client.”Forrester “Desktop Virtualization is the Future of the Corporate PC” January 5, 2006

“It's [VDI] really become our new model for doing desktop deployment. If a user doesn‘t demand they need a desktop, we're giving them a hosted desktop, and the users love it.”David Siles Chief Technology Officer Kane County Government (Illinois)

“From which vendors do you plan to purchase thin client/desktop virtualization technology from over the next 6-12 months? (please indicate all that apply) “

Answer: VMware 58%, Citrix 16%, HP 7%, Microsoft 6%, Not applicable / Unsure 14%

VMware Enterprise Desktop Solutions

Server-hosted Solutions (VDI)Virtual desktops reside safe & secure in a corporate data center. Remote PCs connect to virtual desktop images from any device running a remote display protocol (e.g. RDP).

Client-side Solutions (ACE)Enable users take their desktops in a secure virtual machine with them on portable media devices or laptops. Virtual machines can be fully locked down with full virtual disk encryption, device mgmt & network access control.

VMware VDI Solution

16

What Distinguishes VMware VDI?

Better Control & ManageabilityCentralized desktop administration

Simplified MACs (moves, adds, changes)Lower patch & upgrade failuresSimplified hardware maintenance and reconfiguration

Connection brokering & automatic desktop provisioning

Optional SSL encapsulation & tunneling

Microsoft AD integration: group policy and authentication

Tightly integrated with VMware Infrastructure 3VMware Infrastructure Business Continuity, High Availability & Consolidated Backup

17


Familiar End-User ExperienceFamiliar desktop. No retraining necessary.

Desktop is unchanged, simply running inside a virtual machine. Application compatibility out of the box.

Support for USB devices such as local printers, storage, and PDAs through RDP extensions

Flexibility to access complete isolated desktop from any device

“Our users love their hosted desktops. One user was totally upset and crying because she thought she had lost her documents. She couldn’t believe it when the terminal came back up and everything was just how she had left it.”

David SilesCTOKane County Government (Illinois)

How Customers Use VMware VDI

Desktop PC Replacement Replace traditional PCs with thin clients, repurposed PCs or less costly desktop hardware. Address short desktop lifecycles. Simplify moves, adds & changes (MACs) because the desktop images are administered in corporate data center.

Disaster Recovery & Business ContinuityEliminate unplanned desktop downtime through VMware Infrastructure 3 DRS and HA capabilities. Simplify backup and desktop disaster recovery because desktops are located in corporate data center and can leverage shared storage technology.

Transactional Office Workers with Security NeedsSecure all sensitive personal records or intellectual property running on laptops in host country data center. Control access to centralized desktop images through Microsoft AD. Provide complete desktop isolation. Ensure all sessions are fully encrypted using VMware VDI’s optional Security Server.

How Customers Use VMware ACE

Employee-Owned PCs Deploy a pre-configured IT managed “virtual laptop” with OS, applications and data in a secure package to 3rd party systems, e.g. employee/contractor/partner-owned PCs. Policies to encrypt data, lock down network and device access, and control user authentication ensure that the “virtual laptop” is a secure sandbox environment for accessing corporate resources.

Training & EvaluationsUse ACE to rapidly configure systems for training and evaluations/POCs. Preconfigured snapshots take minutes instead of hours to set up, enabling systems to be ready for use and easy to reset.

Secure PortabilityFor mobile users in the field such as sales or field support personnel, use the Pocket ACE feature to deliver complete operating environments on portable devices, including USB drives, iPods, etc., that provide secure mobile access to corporate resources from almost any PC without risk of compromising sensitive data.
