Value proposition
• Hardware resources are typically underused.
• Advantages of consolidating datacenter infrastructure:– Make better use of server resources– Increase performance per Watt (GREEN)– Improve scalability, flexibility– Reduce total cost of ownership
• Virtualize to save money!
Virtualization: I.R.I.S. ICT• I.R.I.S. ICT was first to bring server virtualization to BeNeLux market in
2002, using the VMware ESX™ platform. We are a VMware VIP business partner.
• We focus on Complex IT infrastructure e.g. Mainframe, UNIX, Linux,
VMware, Storage. Virtualization is a core component of our business.
• Several large customer accounts, success stories and awards.
Enterprise Desktop• As plenty of companies are virtualizing their server infrastructure, what is
happening with the total cost of ownership of their IT infrastructure?
Enterprise desktop• Server consolidation reduces total cost of ownership of entire IT
infrastructure, but also increases share of the desktop.
• The desktop has become the new focal point for efforts aimed at reducing Total Cost of Ownership.
Desktop market trends
1. Traditional desktop workstation2. Thin Client workstation3. Desktop Virtualization
Traditional workstation• Gigahertz race, Gigabyte race
• Tight coupling between Hardware and Operating System. (Vista migration issues)
• Idle Power consumption >70Watt
• 3 year lifetime (Gartner)
• Price Leadership strategy
• Defines the “desktop” experience
• Commodity
Thin Client workstation• Thin Client market is hot, crowded and
growing. Players include DevonIT, Wyse, Sun, IGEL and many others.
• Vendor strategy: Price leadership with little or no differentiation going on.
• Vendors focus on management tools to try and lock customers in to their platform.
• Typically provides only a “limited” desktop experience.
• Thin Clients are essentially commodity
“mini-PCs”.
Desktop Virtualization• The virtualization market is hot, crowded and growing. Virtualization
technology is becoming a commodity. • Players include VirtualBox, Citrix, VirtualIron, Vmware, Sun, Microsoft,
Novell, etc. • Players providing only selected pieces of the virtualization “puzzle”.
Desktop Virtualization• Several vendors provide a piece of the Desktop Virtualization puzzle.
• When these pieces are combined, the resulting configuration typically faces a number of challenges:
– No multimedia support.– No multi-monitor support.– No desktop peripheral (USB, Serial, Parallel) support.– Impact on the network.– No single point of contact.– Tight coupling to a specific Operating System– Power consumption
I.R.I.S. Virtual Desktop
An end-to-end solution that solves the challenges our customers are facing.
Solution Architecture
Centralized Hardware• Leverage proven server virtualization
technology.• Instead of server operating systems,
we install desktop operating systems in the virtual machines.
• Typically consolidation ratio is higher compared to server virtualization.
• Shared storage Pool can be anything from NAS, SAN, SAS, FC to iSCSI.
• Mixing storage types is possible (cost).
Centralized hardware details• Storage: storage pool for the desktop environments – datacenter storage quality.
Enterprise features available (replication, disaster recovery, thin provisioning, etc.)
• Dedicated and certified servers for the IRIS Virtual Desktop Solution. Features such as memory, HBA, power supply, processors, etc. are configured to achieve an optimal consolidation ratio. (presales)
Desktop broker• Virtual desktops need to be assigned
to users.• User supplies username and
password to the broker.• Broker points user to his/her virtual
machine.• Broker is a virtual machine running
Linux™ with a dedicated web application provided by LeoStream™.
• Broker talks to active directory and Virtual Machine management console.
Desktop Broker choice• Plenty of brokers are available on the market. We take the following
technological factors into consideration when aligning with a specific partner.
– Operating System independent (Linux & Windows)– Virtualization layer independent (MSTS, Citrix, Vmware, Xen …)– K.I.S.S. philosophy– Interchangeable component in our “Open Architecture”– Price point
• Our architecture is designed to be as open as possible, to allow for integration with existing infrastructure.
IRIS Virtual Desktop
I.R.I.S. Client• A hardware appliance that presents a virtualized desktop to the user.
• Two models: I.R.I.S. Client Pro and ExpressP
ro: office environment
Express: industrial environment
I.R.I.S. Client Details
• Own Hardware design• Own Integrated Linux ™ Software stack
• A platform that allows for differentiation at both HW and SW level
I.R.I.S. Client Pro
• Features– 2 x front USB2 port– 1 x audio in– 1 x audio out– 1 x parallel port– 1 x serial port– VGA display (1600x1200)– PS2 keyboard and mouse support– 100 megabit network– Solid state (no moving components)– Low Power Consumption
I.R.I.S. Client Express
• Features– Solid steel case– 2 x USB2 port– 1 x audio in– 1 x audio out– Optional serial port– VGA display (1600x1200)– PS2 keyboard and mouse support– Redundant 100 megabit network (PoE)– Low Power Consumption– Industrial temperature range support. From -45 to
80 degrees Celcius.– 50G gravity / shock – Solid state (no moving components)
HW differentiation• Low power consumption.
– 0.1 Watt to 1 Watt range (CPU)• Integrated motherboard: “system on a
chip” microprocessor from automotive industry
• Financial incentive (volume > 100 million SoC’s sold in 2007)
• Hardware accelerated encryption / compression
• Virus free architecture• Fanless/sinkless• 68 x 58 mm
Pricing• Project based.
– Largely depends on consolidation ratio and desktop requirements (cpu’s, core frequency, memory, operating system).
• CAPEX: – Per user pricing for the COMPLETE solution is potentially as cheap as a DELL™ desktop.
(Windows XP desktops, typical office usage)
• OPEX: – ROI possible after less than 24 months, only considering Power consumption savings.– Desktop management can be improved substantially.
SW differentiation
An end-to-end solution that solves the challenges our customers are facing.
