1. Breakdown the components of a personal computer 2. This is what we commonly refer to as a Windows OS 3. VDI moves the OS, Apps and Data to the data center 4. Access VDI through Remote Desktop Protocol’s

Desktop Virtualization = VDI VDI will save money immediately All users will benefit from VDI VDI is the future of the desktop Only VMware has VDI technology

•

Manage physical and virtual desktops from a single console

•

Centralized desktop lifecycle management

•

Data always locked in the datacenter

•

Improved compliance through centralization

•

Access desktops from any connected device

•

Enable rich desktop experiences on thin clients and older PCs

•

Datacenter grade business continuity for the desktop

•

Quicker resolution of desktop failures

Simple licensing for Microsoft infrastructure and management

App-V helps eliminate conflicts between applications and removes the need to install those applications on PCs

Improves Application Compatibility

•Prevents one app conflicting with another •Prevents one app conflicting with other instances of itself •Fixes many issues where app wouldn’t run as standard user

Enables Consolidation of Session Hosts

•No longer any need for silos of session hosts •Allows session hosts to be homogenous •Shared Cache saves substantial storage as deployment grows

Improves user profiles

•Application settings can be stored to network location / roamed independently •Increases usefulness of mandatory profiles

Personal Virtual Desktop Pooled Virtual Desktop

• • •

Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktops for individual users that can be fully customized based on user profiles Allows users to perform specialized tasks that require administrator access to their desktop Enables users to access their personalized desktop from any computer while retaining the last saved state

• • •

Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktop based on a pool of virtual machines that are shared by multiple users Allows users to perform standardized routine tasks and have access to common applications (such as Microsoft Office) Rolls back the state upon logoff to provide a “clean” desktop for the next user’s session, but the previous user’s state can be saved offline

Datacenter Upgrade Cost User Experience Application Performance • Additional investments in server, management, storage, and network infrastructure • Additional software for VDI management, user experience, and optimization • No offline mode – unsuitable for non connected workers • User experience degrades with server loading and reduced network capacity (i.e. WAN) • Network-dependent apps (i.e. VOIP) may have degraded performance • Graphic-intensive applications may not perform well over WAN

Can my organization handle a new desktop deployment paradigm? What investments are required beyond basic VDI infrastructure to enable a true desktop experience? Are all my workers always connected? Have I already laid the foundation for VDI with application and user state virtualization? Will my current network and infrastructure deliver a true desktop experience? Am I targeting the right use cases to ensure ROI for my VDI?

If my primary goal is to reduce desktop costs, do I have a baseline for comparison?

How do I ensure my data is always protected and available to all my users no matter what device they use?

Where do I start my desktop virtualization project so I can achieve the fastest ROI?

How do I reduce the cost of managing physical and virtual environments?

How do I handle mobile workers?

How do I ease my application management?

What additional management investments do I need to ensure success in desktop virtualization?

Microsoft can help IT achieve these benefits across all types of desktops and devices – not just VDI
