1 VDI with Xsigo Benefits & Case Studies Nick Dyer EMEA Systems Engineer +44 (0) VDI Challenges How virtual I/O helps Case Study #1: National telco Case Study #2: Global bank 2 1

2 VDI Challenges Performance Multiple user classes & needs Boot storm contention Hardware Disruptive installation? Data center space? Scalability Easy to grow or change? Cost? Can be more expensive than buying fat client PCs 3 Why What Xsigo? is Xsigo? Applications Banking Education Energy Government Healthcare Manufacturing Retail Servers (vsphere Hypervisor + View Broker) Network & I/O (Xsigo) Data Storage (EMC VNX, V-MAX) Increased Utilization % Increased Utilization % Increased Utilization % Virtual I/O Completes Your Virtualization Strategy! 4 2

3 The I/O Problem Unpredictable Performance Server Costly Congestion Network I/O Connections The I/O you need?? Cabling Mess Storage I/O Connections 5 Virtual I/O Close-up Migrate virtual vnic vnic vhba vnic I/O on vhba demand Add resources to live servers vnic vnic vnic vhba vhba Add isolated networks on demand 1G 10G 1G 10G FC iscsi NAS FCoE Inflexible system configuration. Low resource utilization. 6 3

4 40Gb Link Eliminates Bottlenecks Xsigo delivers more bandwidth to each server: Traditional I/O 1 or 10Gb Xsigo I/O 40Gb 40Gb x 2 to each server 7 Low Latency = Fast Response Xsigo has 1/3 the latency to the app server. Latency (Time delay) Desktop Server App Server Low latency link Ethernet Xsigo Faster response time for users. 8 4

5 Eliminate the Boot Storm Problem Xsigo s 40Gb pipe gives fast access to boot server. Users up and running quickly at start of day. Desktop Server Boot Server Low latency link 9 Quality of Server Controls Diamond Lane for priority traffic x 7 x 365 service available User 1 User

6 Network Isolation Xsigo delivers isolated networks to any server Does not rely on VLANs Freedom to: Host any desktop on any server Load balance Mitigate failures Scale resources easily Isolated networks wherever required 11 Reduced Deployment Cost Reduce complexity by 70% Less CAPEX $3,500,000 $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $1,500,000 $1,000,000 $500,000 $0 Server + I/O Costs (for 120 servers) $339,288 $772,677 $1,685,520 Competitive $26,000 per server Capital Cost Comparison $277,260 $342,781 $840,000 Xsigo $14,000 per server Support Cost ( 3) year(s) Cabling Cost Switch Costs I/O Cards Server Cost + Software Licenses 12 6

7 Faster Deployment Time Leverage existing 1GE & FC infrastructure Minimize new LAN / SAN equipment Easy to grow Save up to 100 watts per server Without Xsigo Hard to Deploy With Xsigo Easy to Deploy 13 Smaller Footprint One PCI slot is all you need Use smaller servers or blades Save rack space 14 7
