9 What about VDI Today?

10 Where's the Starting Point for Desktop Virtualization? Know your users Categorize users and understand their needs by groups Sizing Plan Plan Plan Know your desktop environment

11 Desktop Virtualization Cold Hard Facts Roughly 68%-77% of organizations are either using, testing or strongly considering VDI deployments. Costs per VDI user range well over the traditional desktop Major barriers include difficulty in making a business case Bottom line : unlike server virtualization, desktop virtualization is much more nuanced and often has unclear ROI

12 Desktop Virtualization Cold Hard Facts VDI simplifies desktop administrative and management tasks Users access virtual desktops running in the data center No more new End Users hardware! Elasticity Desktop security and data protection are centralized Access can be easily extended to remote users BYOD

13 What are the Storage Constraints of VDI? For every $1 spend on virtual desktop deployment, $3-$10 is spent on storage Most problems tend to be about I/O and storage It's not just about storage capacity Sizing virtual desktop installations is critical for storage - understanding access and I/O patterns is fundamental Be careful from Boot storms Do not Forget who is your client

14 Summery Plan, plan, plan! Understand user data and workloads and their current experience Understand access patterns and I/O requirements Ensure you have the right network and storage infrastructure before starting the project Pilot small and make sure you can scale properly and ensure the end-user computing team is wellrepresented in the assessment process

15 Summery Beware of virtual desktop sprawl - different classes of user will require different configurations Make sure you have end user acceptance testing built into the project as a phase
