- 2. Agenda Journey To The Cloud Why are you considering DV? The Post PC Era The different Types of DV www.sigmasolinc.com
- 3. Journey To The Cloud… 2014+ Virtualization 3.0 (Cloud Computing) The fully virtualized datacenter spans internal and external cloud adaptive, intelligent infrastructure service oriented (IT as a service) Virtualization 2.0 Integrated cloud management 2010 Utility billing/chargeback Holistic monitoring/diagnosis Automation and Orchestration Cross-hypervisor management Self-service portals External cloud federation Storage virtualization Platform as a Service Virtualization 1.0 Client hypervisors Virtualization-aware Tier-1 Applications applications Unplanned downtime Mobility VDI Consumerization of IT Resource Converged Infrastructures optimization …Operational Savings Policy-based management Business continuity Network/IO virtualization Application Virtualization www.sigmasolinc.com

- 10. Market Dynamics Quantifiable Qualifiable PC Replacement Savings Improved Data and Endpoint Security IT support cost savings from fewer Improved User Experience problems and faster resolution Improved worker productivity due to Better Business Continuity and reduced PC downtime and greater Disaster Recovery desktop mobility Electricity savings from Thin Client and Enhanced Business Agility, e.g. more Zero Client efficient outsourcing projects Greater IT staff efficiency due to Ability to spend more time on streamlined desktop management strategic projects
- 11. Why are you considering DV? • Windows 7 Migration • Cost savings and green IT • Helpdesk efficiency / desktop management PC lifecycle Management User Experience Cloud integration BC/DR BYOD www.sigmasolinc.com
- 12. Why Put The Desktop in the Datacenter • Management • Access • Performance • Security • Single Instance Block Level www.sigmasolinc.com
- 14. User Profiling Mobile Users Types Of Users Task Users Client Terminal Hypervisor Streaming VDI Server / Blade Type 1 & 2 Workstations Application Virtualization www.sigmasolinc.com
- 15. Server & Desktop Virtualization: “not a mini me…” • Server Virtualization is about Consolidation, Containment & Availability • Desktop Virtualization is about Standardization & Customization • Desktops will always have exceptions • Not much CapEx savings, but Significant OpEx savings www.sigmasolinc.com
- 16. BYOD • Bring, Your Own Device • Save on costs • Maximize user experience • Supportability • Access to corporate network • Private and corporate data mix • Hardware ownership • Encryption • Data ownership www.sigmasolinc.com
- 17. VDI: Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops • VMs reside on servers in the data center • Server-based computing model • Centralized management, access, performance, and security • VDI “secret sauce”: – Storage – Management – User Personalization www.sigmasolinc.com
- 18. VDI: Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops • Ease of management • Power savings • Replace broken hardware with Thin Clients • Support savings • Use of existing hardware • Business continuity • Backups • Device independence • Sensitive applications www.sigmasolinc.com
- 19. Client Hypervisors – Type 1 • Standardized HAL • Reduce initial investment • Single Windows image • Multiple VMs • Enable BYOC • Swap user machine • Easier management and update www.sigmasolinc.com
- 20. Client Hypervisors – Type 2 • Reliance on general-purpose OS • Double, triple, or quadruple number of managed VMs • Patching • Upgrading • Antivirus www.sigmasolinc.com
- 21. Application Virtualization • Legacy Application Support • Reduced Storage Requirements • Reduce/Eliminate Application Conflicts • Centralized Management • Centralized Distribution • Not all apps can be virtualized www.sigmasolinc.com
