Expanding Virtualization to the Desktop – VDI
What is VDI?
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Virtual Desktop Interface
Deployment Model
Users PC runs virtually in Data Center Monitor, Keyboard, & Attached Thin Client on users desktop Session Manager Data Center
VDI virtual machine
SIP RTP Soft phone IT Apps Voice Controller Software Codecs Citrix /VMware Device and Graphics Drivers HDX/ICA/P CoIP Citrix /VM HDX Receiver Citrix/VM Visual Receiver VDI Thin Client Local Audio Drivers Graphics & Camera VDI Client Endpoints (Thin Clients)
Why VDI?
All Data is maintained in Data Center More Secure Back-ups more reliable Simplified deployment Support Maintenance Lower TCO
Unified Communications in a VDI Environment
Standard VDI is not well suited to drive real time media directly to the desktop. Avaya’s Real Time UC solution for VDI o
Avaya VDI Communicator 1.0
Software installed on VDI thin client (desktop) Provides connectivity to Avaya Aura CM & Session Manager Processes all voice media locally on thin client off loading media processing from data center

Avaya one-X Communicator
Runs on users virtual machine in Data Center Shared control mode Must run in “Desk Phone” mode User interface only does not process any voice traffic

Data Center Control (SIP) Control (SIP) Media
Avaya Approach • Media direct to client • Lighter load on server • QoS model supported • Call path unaffected by VDI architecture “Headless Client” on end-point • Media terminated locally • “Remote Control” of Real Time app is extended to ‘local client’ on the VDI end point • Session Down UI for loss of connection scenarios
Avaya VDI Communicator
… solving for scale & QoS for improved real-time communications in VDI Performance • off loads processing of real time communications to thin client or PC and Avaya Aura Survivability • basic voice if connection to data center or virtual PC is down Flexibility • works in various customer environments; choice of vendors within the VDI ecosystem Software only • no Avaya hardware required • desk phone is optional • • • Virtual Desktop Avaya one-X Communicator view VDI Communicator on HP or Dell Wyse Thin Clients; or Windows PC Support for VMware View & Citrix Xen Desktop Collaboration • Voice, IM/Presence, contacts / directory, conferencing, messaging
