What is Server-Hosted Desktop
Virtualization?
Data Center
•Power consumption
•cooling / heat
•space
•data security
•backups
•updates
•refreshes
•user administration tasks
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
•Provide end users with virtual desktop image that is
managed centrally, more secure, flexible (runs any Win
app w/min overhead), & feature rich -- nearly identical to
physical PC.

VDI – Overview
Thin Client or PC
Virtual Infrastructure 3 Server
- VDI leverages Virtual Infrastructure 3 and a
remote control protocol such as RDP to provide
users access to a remote desktop.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
VDI Benefits – Centralization (1)
•Close to IT Operations
– Virtual Machines (VMs) located in Data Center - close to
the support staff that tends to them.
– Management tools can access desktop VMs over highspeed local networks for patching & system maintenance.
•Application Performance
– Close proximity to servers maintains application
performance regardless of where the client is located.
•Security
– All data resides on a secure network inside the corporate
firewall.
– Remote users only ‘view’ data so it never gets transferred
to insecure devices - that can be lost, stolen, or hijacked.
VDI Benefits – Compatibility (2)
•Real Desktop Operating Systems
– VMs run Win XP just like physical hardware so applications work
normally without modification.
– Applications can make system level changes such as registry
writes & DLL replacements where necessary – offering desktop
feel
– Existing corporate desktop configurations can be easily imported.
•Isolation
– Each VM runs separately, so a crashed VM or a poorly behaving
application does not affect other users on same server.
– VDI is suitable for developers because any type of change can be
made to a VM without affecting other users.
VDI Benefits – Virtualization (3)
•Homogenous Virtual Hardware
– All VMs use the same virtual hardware.
– One base image can be used for many different VMs –
driver management is greatly simplified.
– Templates can be created in Virtual Center to aid rapid
deployment of new VMs
•VDI is Virtual Infrastructure
– VI3 Servers & Virtual Center are the core components.
– Virtualized Server and Desktop spaces - leverage same
hardware, architecture, & infrastructure.
– Automatic Load-Balancing and High Availability through
VMware HA, DRS, & VMotion features.
