1 Desktop Virtualization: The Next Big Thing? Poh Wah Lee Regional Consulting Manager, Asia South October 2008

2 Is Desktop Virtualization the Next Big Thing? What s driving the change? Technology Evolution: VDI to VMware View

3 Success & Momentum of Virtualization in Data Center Physical servers will double over the next two years and number of virtual machines will grow by 150% 15% Low-Risk, Noncritical Apps 10% Limited to Testing & Dev 29% Some New Production Servers 24% Default Server Policy 22% Most New Production Servers 46% Standardizing on VMware Infrastructure At this point, which best describes the role of server virtualization in your IT infrastructure?

4 The Realities of Today s Enterprise Desktop Desktops are Enterprise Infrastructure As distributed end-points, desktops are hardest to secure, manage and maintain Enterprise IT is faced with a massive desktop refresh cycle (called Vista ) IT budgets are still under pressure Physical Desktop TCO Non-hardware/software costs dominate total PC costs Hardware and software make up less than 30% of total PC total cost of ownership Source: Gartner Research

5 What is driving the change?

6 Technical Benefits of Virtual Desktops Distributed PC Centralized SBC VMware VDI App App App Apps Apps Apps Apps App App App App USER App USER USER USER USER USER USER Apps Apps Apps Apps USER` USER USER USER USER USER USER USER USER Familiar user experience Applications work as designed User, app, and resource problems isolated Centralised management Server-class hardware Secure data and applications Virtualization Layer All of the PC and SBC benefits Flexible provisioning and backup

7 Apply Virtualization to the Desktop Transform the Desktop and apps are decoupled from the physical device Desktops run as virtual machines in secure data center Transform static desktop to a stateless virtual desktop Connect to virtual desktop from thick or thin clients

8 VMware View Today An end-to-end desktop virtualization solution Enterprise-class desktop control and manageability View Manager Clients AD VC while providing a familiar user experience

9 VMware View Overview Build the Desktop of Tomorrow, Today Blade PCs Physical PCs Terminal Servers Additional Connectivity View Manager View Composer Offline Clients AD VC Linux / Partner Clients

10 Offline VDI: Best User Experience An offline desktop is a VMware hosted virtual machine wrapped in a security and manageability layer. Offline VDI enables designated end-users to relocate their Virtual Machines to a local physical computer and back. Enables administrators to extend the security and encryption policies of the data center to the end-users local computer. Full experience for end-users with high latency environments or heavy multi-media requirements. Can out perform any protocol on the market.

11 View Composer (Using Linked Clones) Traditional VDI VDI using Linked Clones Master Image Using snapshots and writable clones

12 New Architectures for Patching, Scale and Cost clones can be placed on different storage than user data disks. User data can be run on redundant highly available storage. Quickly roll out new patches to the without loosing user data and settings View Composer + User Data Disks Storage 1 Storage 2

15 Evolution: From VDI to VMware View Server Based Management PC User Experience Universal Clients VMware View Composer for storage reduction and updating VMware View Manager support for non-virtual platforms Support for multiple partner protocols: Codevelopment with Teradici HP Wyse Improved 3D graphics with client virtualization Client virtualization layer for device independence Seamless management along side VDI users Extending to mobile devices

16 Future of Client Computing The future of client computing IT managers faced with complexity: desktops vs notebooks, Windows vs Mac, Win32 apps vs web apps Users want their desktop to follow them, not the device IT needs to provide centralized management for all desktops Desktop VDI is the first step towards the universal client

17 Is Desktop Virtualization the Next Big Thing? YES!

18 Next Steps VMware View More Information on VMware VDI: More Information on VMware ThinApp: Download and Evaluate Solution: Use the VMware VDI TCO calculator: VMware Professional Services Offerings Jumpstart workshops providing onsite proof-of-concept and knowledge transfer for VDI or ThinApp Custom service engagements to plan, design, and implement virtual desktop deployments
