1 Virtual Desktops Increasing Access, Increasing Productivity and Reducing Service Costs UCSD, Princeton University, Duke University, Yale University, University of Iowa Overview of Desktop Virtualization Min Yao, UC San Diego Mark McCahill, Duke University
2 Virtual desktop growing trend In 2009, Gartner reported there were 500,000+ hosted desktop units globally and predicted that the number of virtual desktops would grow to 49 million units (40%+ PC Market) worldwide by 2013* According to a survey of 500 small and medium organizations in Dec by Spiceworks, 61% of small and medium organizations either have implemented VDI or will deploy it in 2012* IP Pathway, a data center solution provider, listed desktop virtualization as Top 4 IT trend in 2012 Our survey of CSG member organizations indicated that about 75% of CSG member organizations, who responded to the survey, have either deployed VDI or plan to do it within 12 months. Using virtual desktops is a growing trend * /14/2012 Overview of VDI 2
3 Virtual desktop vs. VDI Traditional definition and distinction: Virtual desktop, sometimes called desktop virtualization, is a concept that separates a personal computer desktop environment from a physical machine using the client server model of computing.* Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), initially coined by VMware, is the physical structure that consists of the hardware and software systems to provide and support desktop virtualization.* However, for the sake of our discussion, we use the two terms interchangeably in our presentations and panel discussion to refer to virtual desktop solutions. * 6/14/2012 Overview of VDI 3
4 Types of virtual desktops Client hosted Bare metal (bypass host OS) hypervisor (Type 1) OS hosted (Type 2) Server hosted (the focus of our discussion) Shared desktop (RDSH), cf terminal service Personal physical desktop on the server (BladePC) Personal virtual desktop (VDI) 6/14/2012 Overview of VDI 4
5 General benefits of VDI simpler provisioning of new desktops reduced downtime in the event of client hardware failures lower cost of deploying new applications desktop image management capabilities longer refresh cycle for client desktop infrastructure (saving $$$) increased data security secure remote access to an enterprise desktop environment 6/14/2012 Overview of VDI 5
6 General risks and challenges of VDI potential security risks if the network is not properly managed challenges in setting up and maintaining drivers for printers and other peripherals difficulty in running certain complex applications (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite) increased downtime in the event of network failures relying on public Internet when making connection away from campus complexity of deployment and management 6/14/2012 Overview of VDI 6
