Business Drivers -- IT issues • Desktop and application support/management has plagued IT since corporate adoption of PCs • Desktop operating costs are high – Refresh cycles raise cost/benefit questions -- frequency of desktop HW upgrades versus thin client – Upgrading Win 7 vs. shift to thin client/virtual desktops • Security issues on the rise -- risk of information theft • Environmental issues of distributed desktops vs. centralized • Mergers and acquisitions/New employees • Initial VDI success where security and compliance were key and not just cost © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 7
Business Drivers: Changing User Needs • Increase in remote user scenarios – Remote workers – Contract workers – Work from home scenarios • Changing “desktop” – Laptops, smartphones, netbooks, BYOC – Move to Windows 7 • Broad range of user types and requirements – Power Users – Knowledge Workers – Task Users – Mobile Users • Survey users to assess requirements © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 8
Technical Drivers • Server virtualization adoption (products, people, process) • Server, network improvements - reliability/bandwidth • Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) improvements • Application streaming and virtualization • Personalization improvements • Client hypervisors & Mobile platforms • Graphics protocols improvements (PCoIP, HDX, RDP 7) • Offline check in/check out • Windows 7 Installation © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 9
Windows 7 Migration • Most companies skipped Vista • XP support ending • Win 7 requires more memory and faster processors • Installation not upgrade • Sever the connection between hardware refresh and OS upgrade through virtualization abstraction © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 10
Why (Re-)Evaluate Desktop Strategies? • Centralized desktops can reduce desktop management/support operating costs and improve user satisfaction – Provision/update from shared OS and app images – Eliminate application interaction support problems – Minimize/eliminate SW on physical desktops – Backup user data © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 11
Why (Re-)Evaluate Desktop Strategies? • Extend lifespan of current desktop hardware • Provide desktop and application access from anywhere • Increase security of desktop data and applications • Improve compliance management • Increase desktop reliability, availability, serviceability • Windows 7 will require touching every desktop © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 12
Desktop Virtualization • Bottom line benefits – Improve mgmt and support – reduce OpEx – Improve security – Get user data backed up – Extend desktop hardware lifespan – Increase reliability, availability, serviceability © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 13
Desktop Virtualization Barriers • Previous barriers to broad implementation have been/are being eliminated – Storage issues (image management) – User experience/interface (e.g. graphics) – Personalization – layering user info on top of virtual desktops and virtual applications – Mobile/offline user issues – Licensing/cost issues © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 14

Server Based Computing/ Presentation Virtualization • Virtualizes the Presentation Layer • Delivery Protocol – RDP, ICA, HDX, EnhancedRDP • Connection Manager – Session Manager, Dynamic/Static • Highly controlled environment • Corporate applications • Task workers (e.g. call centers) • No user customization • Highest ratio of users/server 19 © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com
User Access Device Choices • Existing Desktops/Workstations/Laptops – Use current desktops as dumb terminal – No upfront CapEx investment • Thin Clients • Zero Clients • PDAs and Smart Phones • Future Mobile Devices? © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 20
Thin/Zero Client Computing • Thin client computing Model – “dumb terminal” legacy – Application on server – UI on client device – Thin/Zero client device – Thick/Fat client • Benefits – Minimal-to-no SW updates – Longevity – Reduced support – Less vulnerable – Green - Reduced power/cooling – CapEx, OpEx 21 © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com

Virtual Desktop Considerations • User experience • Provisioning – Templates, pools, persistence – Separate OS, apps, profiles, data • Storage and image management – PC Storage to central SAN storage – Central image management • Golden images, linked clones, OS Streaming – Duplication and deduplication • Offline usage – Offline VDI, App Streaming © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 28
Hidden Costs • Cheap PC storage to expensive SAN storage • Lots of duplicate storage (OS images, apps, data) • Server and storage hardware on back-end • Space in data center • Possible network upgrade • Move to thin client – now vs later 29 © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com
Adoption in 2010 is about Overcoming historical barriers • Barriers being eliminated – Storage issues (image management) – User experience – interface (e.g. graphics) – Personalization – layered on top of virtual desktops and virtual applications – Mobile users – Licensing & pricing (Desktop OS and Apps) © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 30
MS VDI Licensing changes • No separate license to access a VDI Windows desktop for Software Assurance customers (Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) rights included) • Non-SA customers – VDA now $100 per device per year (VECD was $110) • VDA users can access their VDI Windows desktop and MS Office apps on secondary, non-corporate network devices, such as home PCs and kiosks • Replaces VECD • Effective July 1, 2010 © 2010 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 31
