1 Sun Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solutions solving common desktop problems Sun Virtualization Solutions Christopher Saul Sales Manager, Desktop Virtualisation SEE Software Practice Sun Microsystems, Inc.

2 Agenda The problems you face The components Sun uses to solve these problems How an example customer might use this approach for their desktops Some current projects Next steps

3 What is a Desktop? Your desktop isn t a device, it s where you get work done Mac OS X

4 What is a Desktop?

5 What is a Desktop?

6 Common desktop IT problems PCs are cheap to buy, expensive to maintain Managing Windows PC desktop security is hard The typical 3 year upgrade cycle is intrusive, costly & tedious to manage Software deployment to a large number of PCs is costly and complex Sun Confidential: Partners and Customers NDA/CDA only

7 Common desktop IT problems Remote application access is complex Web enabling applications can be complex and expensive Using Citrix to deliver applications in a thin client manner is costly, annoying Sun Confidential: Partners and Customers NDA/CDA only

8 Sun solution components A combination of these solutions > > > > Sun Ray Virtual Display Clients (thin clients) Sun Secure Global Desktop VMware Your existing and future desktop operating systems and applications Providing > A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

9 VMware VMware solves the following problems > Server and desktop consolidation > Server and desktop deloyment

10 How VMware works Before Virtualization: After Virtualization: Single OS image per machine Break dependencies between OS and hardware Software and hardware tightly coupled Running multiple applications on same machine often creates conflict Under utilized resources Inflexible and costly infrastructure Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs Strong fault and security isolation VM's are hardware-independent: they can be provisioned anywhere

11 Getting From Here...Server Sprawl Development servers Test servers Production servers Infrastructure servers

12 To Here..Server Consolidation From hundreds of scattered servers --> to a handful Virtualized servers Production servers Test servers Infrastructure servers More managable More energy efficient development servers More space efficient Legacy OS and apps protected

13 Three Key Properties of Virtualization Partitioning Isolation Encapsulation Run multiple operating systems on one physical machine Fully utilize server resources Support high availability as shared data is cluster-ready for failover and redundancy Isolate faults and security at the hardware level Dynamically control CPU, memory, disk and network resources per virtual machine Guarantee service levels Encapsulate the entire state of the virtual machine in hardware-independent files Save the virtual machine state as a snapshot in time Re-use or transfer whole virtual machines with a simple file copy

14 Sun Ray technology Keep VMware in mind we will now cover how Sun Ray technology works

15 Sun Ray Technology Choice Security Manageability Reliability Mobility Value Sun Confidential: Partners and Customers NDA/CDA only

16 Sun Ray Remove the costs associated with running a traditional PC based desktop Deliver Windows apps as securely and cost effectively as possible Deliver Windows apps as securely and cost effectively as possible Access any application Windows, Unix, Mainframe via Sun & third party tools Zero management desktop device Total security High security, mobility with smartcards Sun Confidential: Partners and Customers NDA/CDA only

36 VMware and Desktops VMware allows us to deliver a full Windows XP desktop to a true thin client

37 The only way to do Windows with Sun Ray, up until now Sun Ray Software Citrix ICA Windows 2003 Windows Terminal Services RDP

38 The only way to do Windows with SGD, up until now Windows 2000 Terminal Services RDP Windows 2003 Terminal Services RDP Secure Global Desktop Software Software

39 Why we care a little bit - Sun Ray Sun Ray Software Solaris/Linux & Windows all on one box thanks to VMware

40 Why we care a little bit SGD SGD on Solaris Solaris/Linux & Windows all on one box thanks to VMware

41 What this means... We can now deliver Windows XP Pro RDP connection to XP Pro delivers the desktop Win XP Solaris Sun Ray Software Win XP Win XP VMware server

42 ...add SGD into the mix We can now deliver Windows XP anywhere! Win XP Win XP Win XP VMware server Solaris or Linux Sun Ray Software Solaris or Linux with SGD

43 Separate servers for SGD and Sun Ray if you like We can now deliver Windows XP anywhere! Win XP RDP Win XP Sun Ray server Win XP RDP SGD server

44 VDI with Sun Virtual Display Technology ALP ALP Internet SWC Sun Ray Server SSL/AIP AIP SSL/AIP Sun Secure Global Desktop Software RDP RDP Solaris 10 OS VMware Infrastructure 3 x86/x64-based Server 3270/ 5250 Mainframe/ AS/400 X11 UNIX

45 What this means - VDI We can deliver a real XP desktop No worries and fiddling with apps that don't work with Citrix or Windows Terminal Services We can re-visit customers who liked Sun Ray or SGD but couldn't use Terminal Services Re-visit customers who are thinking of migrating to TS or Citrix but are concerned about the effort Users get what they are used to Sun Ray can be used where a Sun Ray's right SGD can be used for remote access or users who need a PC or laptop for some reason

46 Vista migration We support accessing Vista Imagine a Vista upgrade no need to reinstall or buy new PCs, simply direct users from one VM to another If it doesn't work, revert back to original XP instance

47 Business and Operational Benefits Minimize Management & Support Costs Solution results in faster provisioning, yields faster development cycles and faster time-to-market Apply the rigors of your data center to your desktop environment Take advantage of developer or technical talent, securely regardless of location Position data centers, including desktop images, in safe regions Easily control which users have access to which applications Provide Secure & Compliant Access Ensure Compliant Access to Desktop OS and VMs Deploy VDI; receive Immediate DR Solution Protect IP & Customer Data from Compromise Legally compliant RDP licensing to deliver applications from a networked desktop OS Gain access from anywhere without rebuilding a desktop Instantly move VM images to a new server, new location during disaster or pandemic A backed-up encapsulated file runs your whole environment Remove all footprint from the end-user device gain control Determine who can copy, paste, print Deploy role-based provisioning by group or individual

48 VDI: Sample Use Cases Disaster Recovery Provide desktop continuity by redirecting user access to alternate desktop infrastructure, while helping to recover desktops and data in the main data center quickly and reliably. Alternative Workspaces Ensure alternative, remote access to complete desktop environments and resources. Outsourcing/Offshoring Secure corporate assets within your own data centers while providing controlled access to external workers. Desktop Consolidation Consolidate, standardize and centrally manage desktops distributed across the enterprise within corporate data centers.

51 Are you screwing your nose up? Thinking noone would buy this? I was sceptical at first too......but this is changing the desktop game

52 Call centres Zero management Sun Ray on the desk Sun Ray server layer VMware images deploy desktops instantly, expand instantly, manage easily Never change the desktop device

53 Education labs, developers Zero management Sun Ray on the desk Sun Ray server layer VMware images reboot servers and desktops on any platforms, as you wish Never change the desktop device

54 Government Unrivalled security Zero management Sun Ray on the desk Sun Ray server layer Never change the desktop device Secure remote access through SGD

55 Bank branches Unrivalled security Zero management Sun Ray on the desk Sun Ray server layer VMware images reboot servers and desktops on any platforms, as you wish Deploy and manage bank branches, easily, centrally, securely

56 Almost any customer Unrivalled security Zero management Sun Ray on the desk Sun Ray server layer Never change the desktop device Secure remote access through SGD

57 Why Sun? Anyone who can run an RDP connection can connect to a virtualised desktop, but... Only Sun provide total solution, from remote access with SGD to zero management desktop client, to great server platform Excellent VMware relationship see the recent announcement

58 A selection of example customers Telco, Ghana 100 seat VDI call centre Regional Bank 4,000 SGD seats Verizon, USA 7,000 seats in call centre Cinci Bell 700, initial deployment Several telcos TBSOL monitoring with SGD Saudi telco 1,400 seats across shops Y-GSM, Yemen 400 VDI seats, call centre, shops, general officce Ongoing telco projects several thousand seats Numerous healthcare and edu references

59 Current projects 1 1,000 seats in Africa Customer has mix of PCs and some Citrix Wants to move away from desktop management hassles but keep XP PoC with Sun Rays and VMware Close to closing initial deployment 6000 series blades/x4600s, Sun storage

60 Current projects seats, large Gulf university Wanted to move away from desktop management hassles but keep XP Sun Rays provide 'campus access' SGD provides remote access to students' XP images 8000 series blades, Sun storage

61 Current projects 3 your project 300 seats, trading company Plans to expand Uses XP/2000 currently Needs some kind of secure remote access Needs to think about Vista Doesn't want to move from Windows XP PoC, pilot, deployment

62 Reuters Deploy a single desktop environment across 5000 desktops across multiple offices in Hong Kong, the US and UK Allow flexibility of deployments as different business units grow Reduce data center power consumption, heat, and footprint Challenge XXXXXXX Solution Results Hosted MS Windows XP Pro desktops in a data center on Sun Galaxy servers using VMware Virtual Desktop Sun Ray thin clients to access virtual desktops while onsite Secure Global Desktop software to access virtual desktops remotely using a wider variety of client devices Improves security and resiliency while reducing administration costs. Desktop is tied to identity not the device Solution is flexible to the business as it grows and changes. Enterprise security focused on pandemic planning and intellectual property protection

63 An example customer Customer X has 1,000 employees in their main office 100 of those employees travel to customer sites Managing PC based desktops is complex and expensive Security and regulatory compliance become more important every quarter Deploying new desktops takes time, reducing the customer's ability to get new employees up and running quickly Vista is coming!

64 The solution Virtualise Windows XP desktops under VMware Sun Ray provides standard user desktop environment Secure Global Desktop provides Secure Remote access platform

65 Deploying new desktops 'Master' images of user desktops are created with VMware Master images copied to create new user desktops even desktops on demand Minimal hardware, minimal space, maximum security

66 Desktop users Desktop users access their standard Windows XP desktop... > From a Sun Ray in the office > From a Sun Ray at home via DSL > Totally securely via Secure Global Desktop when working remotely or from a PC or laptop in the branch Contractors, vendor admins, external support staff, access a standard XP desktop supplied by customer X > From a Sun Ray in the office > Totally securely via Secure Global Desktop when working remotely or from a PC or laptop in the branch

67 Keeping desktops updated New desktop app? > Deploy new master XP image to VMware server > Replicate to deploy new app to users >...or use existing tools you've invested in Administration tasks? > Use your existing, standard, server and app management tools no changes required Hardware maintenance > Migrate live desktops to alternative physical server > Perform hardware maintenance, migrate back

68 Vista is coming Test under VMware Deploy virtualised desktops through VMware No change to desktop hardware Problems? Switch back instantly to old XP instances Migrate gradually with no desktop changes

69 Isn't this expensive? Per seat cost is competitive VMware 'side effects' deliver huge value to the organisation Downtime is expensive Human error is expensive Security breaches are expensive Constant upgrades are expensive Not reacting quickly to the market is expensive Under utilisation of existing equipment is expensive Sun Confidential: Partners and Customers NDA/CDA only

70 If you still think it's expensive... Buy some 'cheap' PCs......or preferably talk to us to examine the real costs involved Sun Confidential: Partners and Customers NDA/CDA only

71 Next steps Demonstration Desktop Review Proof of Concept Pilot Deployment This is straightforward not a complex, CRM, ERP, 'big server' project
