Evolving to VDI 2.0 VDI BC RDP to W2K VM on ESX VDI.

0 Multiple monitors, multimedia, 3D accelerated

2 Evolving to VDI 2.0 VDI BC RDP to W2K VM on ESX VDI.5 Broker thingy better, XP good, expensive server and storage VDI 1.0 Thin prov, non-pers, Nehalem, 8GB dimms, no like Vista VDI 1.1 AFA good, cheaper Servers, users want Win7 VDI 2.0 Multiple monitors, multimedia, 3D accelerated devices: End users are spoiled with desktops while I stumbled through VDI 1.0 and 1.1. GPU for VDI is here to save the day! Problem: Most VDI Infrastructure is Here Users and Apps are Here

GPU ram requirements ISVs have been writing to the DirectX / OpenGL API

3 Windows Hearts GPU Windows Vista introduced Aero Desktop Experience GPU required Windows 10 will likely be next corporate standard, Doubles idle GPU ram requirements ISVs have been writing to the DirectX / OpenGL API for years Office 2013, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox All GPU accelerated

4 GPU Requirement for VDI User Profile DESIGNER Graphics and Media Professionals, Design Engineers Regardless of profile CATIA, CS6, Inventor POWER USER Financial Analysts, Traders, Design Reviewers PLM, Solidworks, Adobe Dreamweaver, Medical Imaging Showcase KNOWLEDGE WORKER Office workers, productivity and line-of-business workers All users can benefit from a GPU enhanced experience MS Office, Photoshop

5 3D Accelerated Virtual Desktop Tech is Evolving for the better. Multiple options for various use cases provides various levels of performance and consolidation. Hypervisors and brokers are embracing NVIDIA GRID technology.

7 Which NVIDIA GRID Card? General Purpose Virtual Desktop NVIDIA GRID K1 vsga up to 128 users vgpu pick the right vgpu ,500 MHz Virtual Workstation NVIDIA GRID K1 or K2 vgpu pick the right vgpu profile vdga full GPU power/ CUDA support

8 Do not forget the Network! 10 Gb/s fabric is now the norm Watch for bottlenecks between Desktop Virtualization farms and end user data. A Virtual Workstation with very large application datasets can perform better than physical when end to end 10Gb fabric is available Remote screen refresh will be limited by WAN connectivity

9 Desktop Virtualization 2.0: Simplified with Cisco Unified Computing

10 A great virtual desktop experience is not just about the physical hardware behind it..

11 Infrastructure should simplify your day to day management overhead

12 Cisco Unified Computing Solution greatly simplifies the operations of a Desktop Virtualization Solution.

Cisco Unified Computing System A differentiated/revolutionary approach Simplified Architecture Unified Management Higher Performance Scale Networking with fewer components Lower cost and easier

13 Cisco Unified Computing System A differentiated/revolutionary approach Simplified Architecture Unified Management Higher Performance Scale Networking with fewer components Lower cost and easier scaling Fewer management touch points Stateless: any resource, any time Better TCO/ROI Faster deploy/ provision Unification leads to reduced complexity Centralized Firmware Provisioning Management via a single interface Brings out the best of x86 architecture Optimized resource utilization for compute, networking, and management Low latency network fabric Ultimate Scalability Enhanced design capability Designed for the future, today
