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 d with no localized li 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
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 data center and support outsourced or offshore developers Compliance Need for Desktop Consolidation and Standardization Contain desktop proliferation and build a standardized, centrally-managed desktop environment that adheres to internal and external compliance guidelines
Application and Desktop Evolution From Simple Terminal Applications to Rich Network Desktops Simple Terminal Rich Apps Rich Apps Running Rich Apps, All Applications & Devices Running Locally Locally & From Network From Network
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
Virtualized Desktop Solutions Server Based Blade Computing VDI Computing Multiple Users Each User With Each User With Per Server Dedicated Blade Dedicated VM (VDI)
VDI Architecture Storage Networking Server Hosts Hypervisor Virtual Machine Connection Broker Internal/External Access Connectivity Device
How Does it Work? What does it look like from the end user perspective? What does the Connection Broker do? What protocol does it use to connect to virtual machines? What is desktop provisioning? What is a VDI pool? What about locally connected devices? How do you support and deploy applications?
VDI Benefits Higher level of performance Higher Service Level DR is included d Secure by Design Thin Clients Benefits Ease of Management
VDI Drawbacks Why is not everyone doing it on all desktops? VDI Expertise is not easily attained SBC Protocol limitations Not a solution for all desktop users (yet)
Application Virtualization How does it work? What are the benefits? Why consider this now?
Optimized Desktop Vision Data, User settings What s Changing Issues IT Faces PC components PC t bound together, difficult to replace hardware, software A li i Applications OS Hardware Breaking ties using Breaking ties using technologies like virtualization to increase agility
