A lot of people understand, and they think it's about saving money, it's about saving power, it's about green IT, it's about space, and that's certainly true. But in our perspective, it's much, much bigger than that, and people are just now beginning to understand that. We think that there's a major transformation taking place in IT. This major transformation that's been taking place for years is starting to accelerate, and we believe that virtualization is a major enabler and catalyst of that transition that's taking place.” - Tom Bittman, Gartner VP and Chief of Research of Infrastructure and Operations, at Microsoft’s Virtualization Launch Event Focus: Reducing Costs Roaming Profiles + Folder Redirection Data, User settings Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) RemoteApp (RDS) Applications Local Desktop Virtualization Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Microsoft Virtual Desktop OS Session-Based Desktops (RDS) Virtualization (MED-V) Infrastructure (VDI) Hardware Traditional Client Computing Remote Desktop Virtualization Focus: Increasing Flexibility The fastest way to reduce costs Opportunities: •Retire older hardware •Reduce physical servers, floor space, and power •Repurpose freed servers for new business needs •Rejoice in the new processor technologies Server Utilization • Full support for key server applications in a virtualized environment • Server workload licensing to enable virtualization mobility • Management of the workloads is key, not just the virtual machine + Line of Business Applications “Maxol runs Exchange Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, Terminal Services, and file and print servers as key workloads in its virtual environment. Going forward, nearly every business application at Maxol will be a candidate for virtualization.” “We’ve seen first-hand that we can virtualize everything from file, print, and web servers to database servers running SQL Server and Oracle, and actually have the virtual machine run *faster* than what it ran on our original physical box.” - Maxol Case Study - Janssen Jones, Indiana University RDS (Session-Based) VDI (VM-Based) Technology Maturity Proven Emerging Scalability Higher ratio of users/server Lower ratio users/server Isolation/Security Session-based isolation Shared OS across users Must run as standard user VM-based isolation Dedicated OS per user Can run as administrator Remote User Experience Protocol-dependent Protocol-dependent User Flexibility User is running as a user User can have full rights Application Compatibility Windows Server OS Windows Client desktop Remote Web Apps is NOT the same as Office web Apps Business Continuity with Virtualization Business Continuity Adding virtualization to your business continuity plan will reduce costs and minimize business downtime by: Increasing the availability of server infrastructure Inexpensively extending protection to more applications Minimizing time and resources needed to support infrastructure High Availability Disaster Recovery Backup and Recovery Disaster Recovery Primary Site Clustering Secondary Site VHD Shared Storage Quick/Live Migration Storage Array Storage Array Backup/Recovery Backup/Recovery Backup/Recovery 15 High Availability for Virtual Environments Host Clustering with Migration Capability Virtual machine Guests failover from one node to another Guest VMs can run any OS Hyper-V leverages Windows Server 2008 Clustering for Quick Migration Hosts are clustered Guests are not clustered SAN VHDs reside on shared disk Virtualization Storage Fundamentals VM storage options Virtual hard disks Dynamically expanding Fixed size differencing Pass through disks Direct access FC or iSCSI Usually higher performance Direct iSCSI disk Exposed directly to VM 239 desktops Hyper-V: 63 XenServer: 57 Other: 56 Windows 7 1VCPU 1GB, Intel Xeon 5500 2x4 Core, 72GB Source: http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/simoncr, March 2010, "Best Hypervisor for VDI?
