2 Agenda Background context and opportunity Desktop virtualization overview and benefits NaviSite s DaaS solution overview How to get started in your journey 1

3 The Desktop is prime for a major overhaul Tipping point for change is here... OS Data Apps Settings Preferences Expensive Support-heavy Insecure Migration to Windows 7 Increasingly mobile access Tighter IT budgets Pervasive security threats 2

4 Our recent survey validates broad desire to move away from traditional desktops Mindset and adoption 80% NO YES Do you agree that BYOD is the new normal? 45% NO YES Does your company have a BYOD in place? Drivers and sponsors Simplified mgmt Tele/Mobile BYOD Other DR 8% 7% 18% 31% 36% IT Employees Execs Compliance Desktop team 42% 33% 26% 22% 59% Primary motivator for virtualization? Which internal group is driving the change? Barriers and concerns Cost/Price Security Reliability IT expertise Other 4% 28% 41% 49% 67% 5-very 4 90% minimally 5% 5% 22% 29% 39% What are your primary concerns around implementing virtual desktops? How concerned are you about securing enterprise data on employee mobile devices? Note: NaviSite survey published through e-media targeting IT Professionals in July 2013 with 800+ respondents 3

5 Few considerations you should kept in mind when evaluating desktop virtualization Mobility BYOD is an established trend, complimented by an increasingly mobile workforce requiring access to critical assets how are you choosing to address this? Security Do you have an effective security plan for controlling virtualized devices, data, and applications? Are you prepared to address employee churn and changing technologies? Reliability If a disaster hit your business, what is your recovery plan today? Does this comprehensively cover the end user computing side as well? Cost How much of your budget is being devoted to replacing and managing ageing end-user devices? Are you seeking to redeploy this capital to other areas of the business? 4

6 Today s desktop spans across a multitude of delivery and consumption models User App/Data centric Task worker / Admin user Typically require access to few distinct applications Possible shared workstations with consistent users Web Centric Sporadic / Public user Typically require access to few distinct applications Shared / public terminals Desktop Desktop Centric Highly specialized user Ultra high speed in combination with high end graphics Device Centric Technical user Require high-powered devices due to specialized needs Virtual Mobile 5

7 The desktop virtualization journey started a decade ago with VDI Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI): Centralizing desktops into virtual machines that run on data center servers Key Benefits Always-on desktops that are easily managed from a central location Dramatically reduced desktop deployment complexity Improved security and compliance Simplified issue resolution and recovery Genuine Windows client environments that are customizable and instantly accessible anytime, anywhere Client Virtual desktop Servers User data and virtual machine images 6

8 While VDI brought some of the promises to bear, it remains challenging and expensive Mobility Worse Same Better Much better Improved mobility for the end user Diverse array of end-point devices Limited mobility of data center/servers Security Worse Same Better Much better Centrally managed security policies Reduced risk from loss or theft of end-point devices Reliability Same Worse Better Much better Reliability does not increase without significant changes to internal server infrastructure Higher risk of loss due to single point of failure Cost Same Worse Better Much better Substantial upfront cost to set up data center infrastructure (capital intensive) Investments in training and retention of specialized skill to maintain infrastructure 7

9 Opportunity exists to bring desktop virtualization into the Cloud-era No upfront infrastructure expense Pay for usage as you go which is paying for value Higher reliability with redundancy at a lower price point Highly automated, on demand, self-service Reduced time to market Reduced implementation complexity and learning curve Elasticity to scale up or down 8

10 Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) marries the advantages of VDI with Cloud VDI Cloud DaaS Anywhere, anytime access Easy to manage Device independence Lower TCO Low cash out = low risk Customer Satisfaction Mobility Security Reliability Cost 9
