2 Empowering People-centric IT User and Device Management Access and Information Protection Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

3 Today s challenges Users Devices Apps Data Users expect to be able to work in any location and have access to all their work resources. The explosion of devices is eroding the standards-based approach to corporate IT. Deploying and managing applications across platforms is difficult. Users need to be productive while maintaining compliance and reducing risk.

4 People-centric IT Enable your end users Allow users to work on the devices of their choice and provide consistent access to corporate resources. Unify your environment Users Devices Apps Data Deliver a unified application and device management onpremises and in the cloud. Protect your data Management. Access. Protection. Help protect corporate information and manage risk.

5 Why Microsoft VDI? Enable users to access corporate apps and data from any device/any location Protect against loss and leaks of sensitive corporate data Deliver great user experience Why Microsoft VDI? Centrally administer and manage desktops Balance user requirements with corporate compliance Save resources with the flexible storage options right to your environment Reduce time to deploy applications and updates

6 VDI with Windows Server 2012 Firewall Powered by Windows Server 2012 Desktop sessions Pooled VMs Personal VMs 1 platform 1 experience 3 deployment choices Corporate Office Branch Office Home Public Location

7 Choosing the Right VDI Architecture Sessions Pooled VMs Personal VMs Good Better Best Personalization App compatibility Ease of management Cost effectiveness

8 Solution Principles Efficient Management Easy deployment automates deploying and configuring server roles. Unified administration uses a single, integrated console for management. Streamlined management helps IT manage pooled and personal virtual machines. Best Value for VDI User Profile Disk maintains user personalization in pooled deployments. Fair Share dynamically distributes bandwidth, CPU, and disk use. Flexible storage options support directattached, network-attached, or storage area network (SAN) storage of virtual machines. Rich User Experience RemoteFX for wide area network (WAN) dynamically detects network conditions and tunes experience. Graphics processing unit (GPU) support for both physical and software GPUs. USB redirection enables access to locally attached devices in remote desktops. Seamless experience supports multitouch, new Windows Experience, and Start menu integration.

9 Unified administration that is intuitive to manage Provide one, integrated console for roles, servers, collections, users, and virtual machines Session Shadowing integrated with console Offer consistent publishing applications and desktops Automate and manage at scale with Windows PowerShell

10 Streamlined management of virtual machines for scalability Avoid patch storms by queuing maintenance updates Use master images for personal and pooled virtual machines Accelerate system preparation, optimize logons, and provide automatic rollbacks

11 VDI deployment, administration and management

12 Best value for VDI with key platform capabilities User Profile Disk Maintain user personalization in pooled deployments Fair Share Dynamically distribute bandwidth, CPU, and disk use Multiple storage options Support direct attached, network, or SAN storage of virtual machines. Automatic Tiering and Deduplication High availability for all roles

13 Personalization with User Profile Disk Benefits Available with pooled virtual machine collections and remote desktop session host collections Stores all user settings and data Contains roaming user profile, Folder Redirection cache, and user environment virtualization Roams with user within collection Appears as a local disk and improves application compatibility User Profile Disk with pooled virtual machine collections What should I deploy? User Profile Disk With every virtual machine pool and remote desktop session host collection User environment virtualization To apply roam settings across collections Folder Redirection To apply roaming user data across collections To centralize user data backup User Profile Disk with remote desktop session host collections

14 Multiple storage options Use direct-attached storage, networkattached storage, and clustered or SAN storage Leverage tiered storage to automatically optimize performance Reduce storage cost by leveraging disk deduplication

15 Storage options Windows Server 2012 Storage spaces Server Message Block 3.0 (SMB3) and Hyper-V SMB support Cluster storage volume Scale-out file server Online disk dedupe and tiered storage VDI storage configuration Direct-attached, central SMB, or central CSV / SAN Storage location of User Profile Disks, parent virtual hard disk, and virtual machines can be configured separately for each collection Optimum use of high I/O operations per second versus high volume storage Sample configuration Block based storage Storage Space Scale out file server Storage Space Hyper V Storage Pool Storage Pool Storage Pool SMB Storage Space

16 Microsoft Application Virtualization Anywhere productivity Access to applications on any device without installs Virtual desktop Avoid business disruptions Log in to retrieve applications and restore productivity Accelerate deployment Faster provisioning of virtual applications on demand Login xxx Login xxx Local Device Thin Client

17 High availability Use a scale-out file server and Hyper-V clustering Improve with active/active broker Experience up to 64 nodes and 8,000 virtual machines per cluster with Hyper-V Further increase density by using Remote Desktop Session Host (greater than 2x compared to virtual machines)

18 High availability With Windows Server 2012 Web farm Remote Desktop Connection Broker Hyper-V cluster Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Active/active high availability mode for brokers Scale-out file server and resiliency Requires Microsoft SQL Server Automatic data migration from single instance to high availability Remote Desktop Remote Desktop Web Access Web Access Remote Desktop Connection Broker SQL Server Clustering Database Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Remote Desktop Remote Desktop Session Host Session Host Remote Desktop Gateway Web farm Remote Desktop Licensing Remote Desktop Session Host farm Cluster

19 Comparing and reducing VDI costs Personal virtual machines + App-v and disk dedupelication DAS savings Storage savings Each With image Application = OS + application +user Virtualization data and Each storage user has for apps a personal image Pooled virtual machines + User Profile Disk + Application Virtualization DAS savings Reduce costs across all deployment Storage types for by OS using images Windows 8 and directattached Images to manage storage (DAS). DAS is approximately 25% the cost of SAN. DAS savings Server infrastructure management effort Costs Management Costs Compute Costs SAN Storage Costs DAS Storage Costs
