Value proposition
• Hardware resources are typically underused.
• Advantages of consolidating datacenter infrastructure:
–
–
–
–
Make better use of server resources
Increase performance per Watt (GREEN)
Improve scalability, flexibility
Reduce total cost of ownership
• Virtualize to save money!
Virtualization: I.R.I.S. ICT
• I.R.I.S. ICT was first to bring server virtualization to BeNeLux market in
2002, using the VMware ESX™ platform. We are a VMware VIP business
partner.
• We focus on Complex IT infrastructure e.g. Mainframe, UNIX, Linux,
VMware, Storage. Virtualization is a core component of our business.
• Several large customer accounts, success stories and awards.
Enterprise Desktop
• As plenty of companies are virtualizing their server infrastructure, what is
happening with the total cost of ownership of their IT infrastructure?
Before Server Consolidation

Server TCO
Desktop TCO
Enterprise desktop
• Server consolidation reduces total cost of ownership of entire IT
infrastructure, but also increases share of the desktop.

• The desktop has become the new focal point for efforts aimed at
reducing Total Cost of Ownership.

Traditional desktop workstation
Thin Client workstation
Desktop Virtualization
Traditional workstation
• Gigahertz race, Gigabyte race
• Tight coupling between Hardware
and Operating System. (Vista migration
issues)
• Idle Power consumption >70Watt
• 3 year lifetime (Gartner)
• Price Leadership strategy
• Defines the “desktop” experience
• Commodity
Thin Client workstation
•
Thin Client market is hot, crowded and
growing. Players include DevonIT,
Wyse, Sun, IGEL and many others.
•
Vendor strategy: Price leadership with
little or no differentiation going on.
•
Vendors focus on management tools
to try and lock customers in to their
platform.
•
Typically provides only a “limited”
desktop experience.
•
Thin Clients are essentially commodity
“mini-PCs”.
Desktop Virtualization
• The virtualization market is hot, crowded and growing. Virtualization
technology is becoming a commodity.
• Players include VirtualBox, Citrix, VirtualIron, Vmware, Sun, Microsoft,
Novell, etc.
• Players providing only selected pieces of the virtualization “puzzle”.
Desktop Virtualization
• Several vendors provide a piece of the Desktop Virtualization puzzle.
• When these pieces are combined, the resulting configuration typically
faces a number of challenges:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
No multimedia support.
No multi-monitor support.
No desktop peripheral (USB, Serial, Parallel) support.
Impact on the network.
No single point of contact.
Tight coupling to a specific Operating System
Power consumption
I.R.I.S. Virtual Desktop
An end-to-end solution
that solves the challenges
our customers are facing.
Solution Architecture
Centralized Hardware
•
•
•
•
•
Leverage proven server virtualization
technology.
Instead of server operating systems,
we install desktop operating systems
in the virtual machines.
Typically consolidation ratio is higher
compared to server virtualization.
Shared storage Pool can be anything
from NAS, SAN, SAS, FC to iSCSI.
Mixing storage types is possible (cost).
Centralized hardware details
•
Storage: storage pool for the desktop environments – datacenter storage quality.
Enterprise features available (replication, disaster recovery, thin provisioning, etc.)
•
Dedicated and certified servers for the IRIS Virtual Desktop Solution. Features such
as memory, HBA, power supply, processors, etc. are configured to achieve an
optimal consolidation ratio. (presales)
Desktop broker
•
•
•
•
•
Virtual desktops need to be assigned
to users.
User supplies username and
password to the broker.
Broker points user to his/her virtual
machine.
Broker is a virtual machine running
Linux™ with a dedicated web
application provided by LeoStream™.
Broker talks to active directory and
Virtual Machine management
console.
Desktop Broker choice
• Plenty of brokers are available on the market. We take the following
technological factors into consideration when aligning with a specific
partner.
–
–
–
–
–
Operating System independent (Linux & Windows)
Virtualization layer independent (MSTS, Citrix, Vmware, Xen …)
K.I.S.S. philosophy
Interchangeable component in our “Open Architecture”
Price point
• Our architecture is designed to be as open as possible, to allow for
integration with existing infrastructure.
IRIS Virtual Desktop
I.R.I.S. Client
• A hardware appliance that presents a
virtualized desktop to the user.
• Two models: I.R.I.S. Client Pro and Express
Pro: office environment
Express: industrial environment
I.R.I.S. Client Details
• Own Hardware design
• Own Integrated Linux ™ Software stack
• A platform that allows for differentiation at
both HW and SW level

Pricing
• Project based.
– Largely depends on consolidation ratio and desktop requirements (cpu’s, core frequency,
memory, operating system).
• CAPEX:
– Per user pricing for the COMPLETE solution is potentially as cheap as a DELL™ desktop.
(Windows XP desktops, typical office usage)
• OPEX:
– ROI possible after less than 24 months, only considering Power consumption savings.
– Desktop management can be improved substantially.
