1 Microsoft Desktop Introduzione Andrea Mauro Direttore Tecnico 20 novembre 2009 Assyrus Srl Microsoft User State Server Presentation Management Desktop Application Desktop What is it? Traditional Configuration With User State Application Desktop

2 Evento Assyrus Microsoft 2009 Desktop Technologies + Strategy Desktop User State Client-hosted Folder Redirection Offline files Server-based Application VDI DISCRETIONARY ESSENTIAL The Client Spectrum Organizations can deliver multiple scenarios to one user Matching Technologies to Users Managed Desktops Managing Unmanaged Desktops Foundation for desktop optimization Easy to implement with immediate results Applicable to all user types

3 User State Synchronizes personal profiles, settings and data to the data-center using Roaming Profiles and Folder Redirection Saves Cost: quickly recover from PC failures and PC theft Enable anywhere access: enable users to access their data from any authorized PC at any time Improve business continuity: get users data on a new PC simply by logging in Remote Desktop Services Retrieve List of Desktops Retrieve List of Remote apps / sessions RD Web Access (feed & web access) Client Win7: RemoteApp & Desktop Connections XP / Vista: HTTPS Web Access (IE) RDP over RCP / HTTPS RD Client

4 Windows XP Mode Feature alignment w/ Win7 SKU plan Win7 SKUs HB HP Pro Ult Ent Windows XP Mode Address SMB App-Compatibility Concerns Hardware Requirements Intel VT or AMD-V V required, default-on recommended 2 GB of memory recommended 15 GB of Diskspace Highlighted Key features Windows XP included in Windows 7 only for Professional, Ultimate & Enterprise Request customers to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro if not so already Integrated with Windows 7 Shell Seamless Windows XP Application launching from Windows 7 Integrated install experience with Windows XP USB 2.0 support Windows Virtual PC is MUI aware & will be localized in 26 languages MED-V V and Windows XP Mode Migrate to Windows 7 now run older productivity applications inside a Windows XP virtual machine Non IT-Managed: Use Windows 7 Pro Windows XP Mode IT-Managed: Use MED-V to add delivery, policy-based provisioning and centralized management for virtual Windows XP images when migrating from XP to Windows 7, [MED-V] is a solution that is fast, simple, cost-effective and most importantly, nondisruptive to business users MED-V V and Windows XP Mode MED-V* Central Management of Virtual Windows Environments Deploy deliver virtual Windows images and customize per user and device settings Provision define which applications and websites are available to different users Control assign and expire usage permissions and Virtual PC settings Maintain and Support - update images, monitor users and remotely troubleshoot *Available post Windows 7 GA as part of Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) Windows Virtual PC Provides the Ease of Use for End Users Run Windows XP or other Windows environments on Windows 7 Install and launch Windows XP applications from the Windows 7 Start Menu A mechanism to address application compatibility issues when moving to a new OS

5 MED-V V Architecture MED-V V User experience Applications installed in the VM, appear on the desktop as if they were running natively. Application (App-V) Traditional Layered Install Model Isolated Virtual Application Model

6 La bolla applicativa Sandbox che contiene l Applicazione I file installati/modificati dall Applicazione La configurazione Le DLL collegate Il Registry Può essere distribuita come package MSI o in streaming Può essere modificata e ri-distribuita in modo differenziale App-V V Architecture Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Centralizes virtual PCs inside the data center while allowing users to remotely access their desktops Use VDI where flexibility is more important than cost Rationalize VDI:required servers, storage and network bandwidth add cost and complexity -make sure business benefits justify higher TCO For scenarios requiring VDI: Microsoft s VDI offering is more comprehensive and cost effective than the competition Licensing: a Windows VECD license is required for each device accessing the VDI image, irrespective of virtualization vendor

7 VDI Technologies Application Delivery Options Remote App R2 Desktop Delivery Options XenDesktop OR R2 Complex Deployments, Enterprise grade performance & management Simple Deployments, built into Windows Server for Integrated Management Windows VECD R 2 Limitations of VDI Always on network connection required to access desktops Infrastructur e and Bandwidth No network access means no access to desktop, and hence unsuitable for offline mobile use. Video / audio / USB device performance is not as good as physical desktop Incorrectly sized VDI implementations may result in poor user experience User Experience VDI provides better flexibility but not reduced TCO versus PCs Investment in PC hardware must be weighed up Organizations may need additional server hardware, storage hardware and software for VDI Cost Centralized Desktops: RApp vs. VDI

8 What is Windows VECD Windows VECD is a device based annual subscription program to help you license virtual copies of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) What are the different flavors of Windows VECD? What devices can be covered? Is Software Assurance a pre-requisite? Windows VECD for SA Rich clients Yes Windows VECD Rich clients, Thin clients No What is the retail price? $23/year/device $110/year/device Does it have Software Assurance benefits? Total # of Windows VECD licenses required (Irrespective of virtualization infrastructure) Yes # of rich clients with SA Yes # of rich clients without SA # of thin clients
