2 Agenda Introductions VMware VDI Solutions Sun VDI Solutions Sun VDI In-Depth Look 2

3 Desktop Management Goals Centralize Computing Resources Move under-utilized computing and storage resources back from the edge of your network Increase Security Use desktop environments that are hardware independent with no localized data Streamline Management Use a single set of desktop tools for both full desktop devices and thin clients Improve Flexibility and Access Quickly provision new desktops and applications to users Ensure business continuity 3

4 Emerging Access Requirements Disasters Need for Instant Desktop Recovery and Provisioning Quickly recover, re-provision and re-establish user access to ensure business continuity Alternative Workspace Need for Remote Offices, Virtual Offices, Hoteling Support for a virtual work environment where users have alternative access to complete desktop resources while working remotely Outsourcing Need for Secure and Controlled Access by Outsourcing Entities Secure data and resources within the corporate datacenter and support outsourced or offshore developers Compliance Need for Desktop Consolidation and Standardization Contain desktop proliferation and build a standardized, centrallymanaged desktop environment that adheres to internal and external compliance guidelines 4

5 Application and Desktop Evolution From Simple Terminal Applications to Rich Network Desktops Simple Terminal Applications & Devices Rich Apps Running Locally Rich Apps Running Locally & From Network Rich Apps, All From Network The Network Is the Computer 5

6 The Desktop Virtualization Revolution IT struggles with overly complex and ineffective desktop strategies Server virtualization revolutionized how IT managers think about compute power The tremendous success of server virtualization prompted IT to consider virtualization to solve their desktop problems Customers are demanding solutions, Sun is delivering 6

7 Virtualized Desktop Solutions One operating system is used to service multiple users. Each user has a separate session but shares the operating system and applications with others. Multiple Users Per Server Each user has a dedicated blade system and operating system. Applications are installed individually for each user and the blades are managed individually. Each User With Dedicated Blade Like the blade solution, but each user's system is a virtual machine instead of a physical one. OS and applications are installed and managed individually. Each User With Dedicated VM (VDI) 7

8 Sun Desktop Virtualization Portfolio Sun Provides a Rich Desktop Virtualization Product Set Nearly 10 years of experience Full screen desktops and individual applications Built-in support for Windows, the Solaris OS, and Linux LAN and WAN Extremely secure Use clients from Sun or nearly any modern PC 8

12 Sun VDI Software Solution Sun Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Software Desktop Servers Desktops End Users Access Clients 12

13 Sun VDI Software Features Delivers secure access to full screen desktop environments over the network Integrates with VMware Infrastructure 3 Lets administrators also use Windows Terminal Services or UNIX servers for a more traditional server-based computing architecture Supports high security encryption with integrated VPN client or SSL encryption with cyphers up to 256 bit AES Provides a highly optimized client side protocol that adjusts dynamically to changing network conditions Built-in support for Sun Ray clients or use existing client devices 13

14 Organizational Benefits Business Continuity Let employees work from anywhere, particularly helpful when disasters strike Cost Reduce datacenter operational costs as well as administration and management expenses Regulatory Compliance Demonstrate compliance with industry or government legislation and internal policies 14

15 Sun Virtual Desktop Connector Brokers connections between Sun VDI Software and VMware Infrastructure 3 Easy to install and configure Dynamic and static binding of desktops to users Automatic integration with Sun Secure Global Desktop Software and Sun Ray Software Supports latest VMware ESX Server 3.5 with Virtual Center 2.5 Designed for Windows deployments 15

16 Sun VDI Software and VMware > > > > Solve problems with applications that are not Terminal Services friendly Provide a highly manageable environment while still allowing users to customize their desktops Access VDI desktops with added security and excellent performance over low bandwidth connections Leverage features in VMware Infrastructure 3 such as VMotion and HA for a truly dynamic desktop architecture 16

18 VMware UMD Press Release As a major research university, it s critical that our students, faculty and staff get access to the applications they need, when they need them, said Jim Maloney, network operations manager, UMD Facilities Management. The combination of VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Sun Ray Software and virtual display clients greatly improved performance and end user convenience. This joint solution has helped us significantly reduce the time we spend managing our growing desktop infrastructure as well as cut down on energy costs through virtualization. n_vdi.html 18

20 End User Benefits Security Gain industrial strength security and avoid lost laptop disasters Flexibility Work on your home PC without installing specialized software Mobility Be as productive out of the office as you are at your desk 20

21 Introducing Sun Ray Technology Choice Security Manageability Reliability Mobility Value 21

22 What is Sun Ray Technology? Display over IP Just like a TV 22

23 Choose Your Desktop Display Solaris, Windows, or Linux all on the same device 23

24 World Class Windows Desktop Full screen Windows desktops on Sun Ray clients Windows Server or Windows XP Pro Two-factor smart card authentication to Windows Hot desk Windows sessions between devices RDP-based, excellent performance 24

25 No Local Data, Nothing Cached Display and manipulate sensitive data without it ever leaving the server Data is never cached No hard disk or addressable flash memory No intellectual property risk if a client is lost or stolen No local operating system, no client virus issues 25

26 The Thinner The Better Lower Complexity Helps Reduce Cost Local Apps Local OS Memory CPU Hard Drive PC Local Apps Local OS Memory CPU Embedded OS thin client Nothing to Manage! Sun Ray client 26

27 Sun Secure Global Desktop Software Secured Applications and Data Business Continuity Mobility Application Choice 27

28 Sun Secure Global Desktop Software Access to Server-based Applications and Desktops Access remote applications just like local applications No re-training required: > Applications launch from user's Start or Launch menu > Remote windows integrate seamlessly with local windows > Open and save local documents with remote applications (if allowed by admin) > Print to local printers (if allowed by admin) 28
