10 Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport

11 Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport: BEAT Maintain a Great User Experience Across a Wide Variety of Network Types: Dynamically Adjust to: Corporate LAN Varying speeds Public Wi-Fi Severe packet loss Mobile networks CONFIDENTIAL 11

12 Blast Extreme Adaptive Protocol Settings Excellent TCP Only Ideal for Corporate LAN Typical (Default) UDP for protocol transport, TCP for control and broker communications Falls back to TCP if UDP connection is blocked Ideal for most situations. Dynamically adjusts for packet loss and jitter Poor UDP Only For protocol transport, control and broker communications Requires VMware Unified Access Gateway 2.9 or later Necessary when network conditions are so poor can t make a broker connection typically greater than 20% packet loss 12

13 Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport by the Numbers Improvements Up to 50% bandwidth reduction out-of-box Over 4x faster file transfers for cross-continental connections ~100 ms with slight packet loss (1%) over previous Over 6x faster file transfers for trans-continental connections ~200 ms with slight packet loss (1%) over previous versions Delivers with Challenging Networks Over 13x higher average frame rates under extremely poor network conditions Low bandwidth, high latency, significant packet loss (1.5 Mbps, 200 ms, 20%) Over 70% higher average frame rates under poor network conditions Low bandwidth, high latency, and medium packet loss (1.5 Mbps, 200 ms, 5%) Over 57% higher average frame rates with high latency and slight packet loss Low bandwidth, high latency, slight packet loss (10 Mbps, 200 ms, 1%) Over 2x faster file transfers under extreme network conditions Low bandwidth, high latency, significant packet loss (1.5 Mbps, 200 ms, 20%) CONFIDENTIAL 13

23 Instant Clone Support for NVIDIA GRID vgpu Desktops Overview Option to provision vgpu desktops using Instant Clones Admin to select profile during pool creation. Note: only 1 profile supported per ESX cluster Compatible with NVIDIA GRID M Series Benefits Broader set of use cases no longer have to choose between better provisioning and better 3D graphics 2x faster provision over View Composer 23

24 High Availability with vsphere 6.0 U3/6.5 vsphere HA enables high availability of VMs in case of server HW failure, by immediately detecting the failure (and thus VM crash) and restarting the VM on another host in the cluster vsphere HA is now extended to NVIDIA GRID vgpu-backed VMs with vsphere 6.5/6.0 U3 If a vgpu server fails with vsphere HA, the VMs will automatically be started on another vgpu enabled host on the same cluster App Volumes 24

25 Sizing Your Virtual Desktop for High Performance Graphics

26 High Performance VDI is NOT Your Mother s VDI CPU Memory IOPS Rich Graphics Density

27 Design First for User Experience Ensure the right level of performance and then use that determine density User experience must be the equivalent of they are used to today Determine how many users you can put on a host based on requirements of users

28 One Size Does Not Fit All Different users have different requirements User requirements vcpu vram vgpu OS At least 2-8 vcpus 4GB Quadro features vgpu Performance Mobility Recommend at least 4 vcpus for Power Users Power User 8GB Mid Eng./Video 16GB Advanced Eng. 32GB CAD/CAM 512MB-1GB Office user 1-2GB Power user 2-4GB Designer/ engineer 64 bit Windows 64 bit Linux Install VM Tools View Agent NVIDIA driver (vgpu) Security 64GB Digital Mock Up 8GB CUDA

29 Sizing Rich Graphics User: Storage Storage is still a critical factor in performance Things to think about with storage CAD users can demand more than 1TB of storage per desktop SIZE and PERFORMANCE matter now VM VM VM VM VMware vsphere Virtual SAN Virtual SAN SSD based local storage Understand local storage capacity All Flash based SAN Virtual SAN Clustered Datastore

30 Getting a True Proof Of Concept Up and Running Determine business drivers, scope, and success criteria early to ensure successful pilot phase Determine Business Drivers 1-2+ weeks Determine Proof of Concept Scope and Success Criteria 1-2 weeks Order GRID enabled Servers per Scope 2-3 weeks Work with Infrastructure team in parallel on network address and server infrastructure 2-3 weeks Rack Servers 1-2 days Install vsphere 6 and NVIDIA GRID drivers 4 hours Install vcenter 6 and VMware Horizon hours Create GRID enabled vcenter cluster 30 minutes Create GM images per scope definition 1 day Create desktop pools 1 day Invite Pilot Users to Start Testing Run Pilot and Measure Results 4-8 weeks Present Results and Move to Next Phase 2-4 weeks

31 Leverage Real User Testing Define acceptance criteria and get feedback Define User Acceptance Criteria Start with the work they actually do today Monitor Understand their full workflow Leverage real files, data and models Compare experience on current system to virtual system Score overall experience on a scale of 1-5 Run Configure

32 Monitor for Proactive Management Leverage granular insights to track trends and optimize environment How do different projects impact usage? Are there unused cycles during night hours? Will environment updates impact users?
