59 Tips and Tricks for Deployment 59

60 VMware Mirage: Tips and Tricks Infrastructure Assessment Desktops: CPU/Disk/RAM Network Proximity - LAN / WAN / VPN Security: Encryption, Firewalls 3 rd party tools: Lakeside / Liquidware labs Use existing PCLM tools Application Delivery Strategy Electronic Software Delivery User Installed Applications VMware Mirage Base / application layers VMware ThinApp Does VMware Mirage complement or replace existing application delivery strategy? Base Layer Considerations Base layers: keep optimised Applications: (firewall, antivirus, core software) OS and software licensing Download hardware drivers Large base layer = more data to transmit Volume Licenses preferred Do not extract drivers from an endpoint 60

61 VMware Mirage: Tips and Tricks Base Layer Conflicts Base Layers can conflict with existing software Understand how to handle conflicts Upload Policies: Considerations More data = more time and more disk space Define protected and unprotected areas OS migrations - do you NEED to back up? Large File support Branch Reflector Downstream only Ensure disk space available Ensure powered-on 24x7 1. Test before deployment 2. Use Dry Run reports 3. Use base layer rules 4. Use base layer override policies Do not backup what you do not need No upload = quick migration = no rollback Files >10MB are broken into 1MB chunks Try to use a dedicated desktop if possible 61

62 VMware Mirage: Tips and Tricks Networking Understand bandwidth limitations Use QoS and traffic shaping Monitor and adjust IDLE desktops use more bandwidth Develop synchronisation schedules Storage Conduct Pilot to understand requirements Use representative desktops from different offices and lines of business Deduplication levels will vary Many influencing factors on storage Availability and Resiliency Use multiple VMware Mirage servers Consider load-balancing solution Consider a dedicated/clustered MS SQL database Mirage can be deployed in a clustered configuration (N+1) 62
