Desktop Virtualization Agenda Business Challenges Virtualization - Desktop Mthd Methods The landscape
The Business Challenges - Desktops Manageability Complexity Inconvenience and lost time Security Out of control costs and budget pressure Frequent refresh cycles Flexibility Limited access to data and apps Single OS / device philosophy Inadequate disaster recovery solutions Eco-inefficiency Success Measured Financially Success Measured Technically
A Growing Issue for Customers Full desktop PCs are power hungry and need frequent refreshing Heating and cooling aren t just datacenter problems Datacenters consume more than 100B kw of electricity costing over $7.2 billion annually Typical desktop PCs consume 80-90 watts of power
Benefits of Centralized Virtual Desktops* Thin-client computing Security Backup / disaster recovery Time to deployment Simplified Management * Source: IDC June 2009
Solving The Desktop Problem Servers are complex Desktops are complex, too Server virtualization solves real datacenter problems Why not apply what we learned with servers to desktops?

Desktop Virtualization ti Consider: Application virtualization is related and appropriate but must retain its independence. Do not rely on desktop hardware for any piece of your architecture we are virtualizing the desktop for a reason. If we are virtualizing the desktop does the physical device matter? Today? Tomorrow?
Desktop device freedom Virtually Limitless Your Desktop on a PC / traditional thin client Your Desktop on a Mac Your Desktop on a Sun Ray client A li d i t l hi t b A personalized virtual machine must be easy to manage and easy to access
Methods Desktop Virtualization Time Sharing method (quickest, easiest): Windows Terminal Services Linux Solaris Single user desktop (user experience) Windows 2000 Single versus multiple gold masters Windows XP Single versus multiple gold masters Linux single use, special purpose Solaris single use, special purpose The next desktop standard?
Virtualization ti... Without appropriate p management Consolidate problem without solving it. Brokers - Connection single access point Lifecycle management Policy driven cloning Policy driven power management Multi-gold master (pooling) Mapping of user/credential to VM Multiple virtualization engines (choice / scale)
Virtualization ti - Approaches Single User desktop Vmware ESX, Infrastructure, View, Composer Citrix XenDesktop Microsoft WTS, Hyper-V Sun Microsystems Sun Ray, SGD, VirtualBox, VDI
Architecture with VMware
Architecture with Sun Built-In Virtualization
Architecture Using Both Platforms
Sun VDI Software 3 Open Architecture for Choice and Flexibility Virtual desktop access, brokering, and hosting Provides a highly manageable desktop environment for IT and a productive desktop environment for end users Enables a choice of virtualization host platforms (VMware and Sun upcoming Microsoft ) Consumes dramatically less storage than previous solutions and increases performance of virtual desktop cloning Enables virtual desktops based on Windows, OpenSolaris and Ubuntu Built-in support for Sun Ray clients or use nearly any modern PC Simple Active Directory integration
Top 5 Cool Features 1) No more waiting to clone virtual machines, VM clones are created instantly 2) Choose your favorite OS for virtual desktops: Windows, OpenSolaris or Ubuntu 3) Mix and match virtualization platforms 4) Connect to Sun VDI Software sessions from most PCs without installing software 5) Unparalleled storage economics
Basic Architecture Clients Existing PCs, thin clients or Sun Ray thin clients Sun VDI Software Handles brokering and management VMware ESX and vcenter Sun xvm VirtualBox Choose your preferred virtualization host or mix and match Sun x86/x64 Server Use high performance Sun servers or standard x86 systems from other vendors
Sun VDI Software 3 Solving Real Business Problems Conventional Solutions Sun VDI Software Consume large quantities of cost prohibitive storage Leverages Open Storage and ZFS to massively reduce storage consumption Limited to Windows XP or Windows Vista virtual desktops Allow only one virtualization it ti platform Also allows Windows 2000, OpenSolaris and Ubuntu virtual desktops Can mix and match VMware Infrastructure 3 and Sun built-in virtualization for desktop VM hosting Have limited scalability Can leverage multiple vcenter servers for large deployments
Which h Client Device? Use existing PCs or thin clients, or step up to the elegance and security of Sun Ray thin clients No local OS to manage, no viruses or spyware Built-in smart card reader Hot desk Windows sessions between devices Excellent WAN and LAN performance using the Sun Ray ALP protocol
