Fragmented Solution Set
• VDI Infrastructure scalability and high-availability due to login/boot up storms
• Different end user experience when accessing from LAN, WAN, Wired/Wireless,
Internal/External, Mobile, etc.
• Poor end user experience delivering Voice, Video, and Collaboration tools via
today’s VDI solution
• Lack of end user devices/peripherals support such as webcam, USB devices, etc

Fragmented Solution Set
What We’ve Heard From Customers…
• Time required to deploy and/or scale VDI infrastructure
• Time to recover from a failed server host
• Time and effort required to manage Server Hardware BIOS settings, Firmware,
Storage Access settings, etc.
• Large number of tools required to manage server hardware monitoring,
provisioning, configuration management, capacity planning, remote support,
virtualization management, and automation

Fragmented Solution Set
What We’ve Heard From Customers…
• Large storage requirements due to centralization of OS, Apps, and Data
• Low VM density (i.e. low number of VDI per server)
• Large amount of infrastructure (e.g. servers, LAN/SAN switches, etc.) required for
today’s VDI solution
• Large amount of additional data center power required for today’s VDI solution
