CIT VDI Presentation - Revision: 10/2013
DESKTOP VIRTUALIZATIONBRINGING THE CLOUD INTO REACH
An introduction to Virtual Desktop TechnologiesChanges in the Virtual Desktop landscape
Practical applications of Virtual Desktop Technology
Demonstration & Q & A
Todays AgendaVirtual Desktop Technology INTRODUCTIONVirtual Desktops & their underlying infrastructure are generally referred to as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or Server Hosted Virtual Desktops (SVHD).
This technology has been in existence since ~1999
Citrix Pioneered Application Virtualization with WinFrame & Metrafame
Initial adoption in the mid-market was to reduce expensive WAN requirements
3Virtual Desktop Technology INTRODUCTIONVelocity in delivering true desktop experience wasnt realized until 2006
Over 330 unique acquisitions made by major players from 2009 to current
VDI is now very mature, largely due to Enterprise Business & Education
Affordability of this has never been in better for SMBs
Virtual Desktop Technology INTRODUCTION
2014 Server Virtualization AdoptionSMB Sector; companies < 500 users. Source: Aberdeen Group. >71% of SMBs have a hypervisor todayA November 2008 Forrester Research report estimated each VDI user would cost an organization $1,760 for the cost of the thin client software, server, storage, and licenses for virtualization software, desktop OS, and applications.However, prices have dropped by about half since then, to $900 per user, says Natalie Lambert, the Forrester analyst who wrote the report (and is now a Citrix employee). As the technology continues to mature and prices decline, VDI should become economically and technologically viable for more and more businesses.

Most VDI deployments meet TCO expectationsAs few as 20 users can be effectively deployed using 6Virtual Desktop Technology INTRODUCTIONVDI SuccessesRate of success for VDI deployments consistently on the rise
Less complicated, more integrated VDI platforms
Higher flexibility for end-users and system administrators alike
Consistently improved end-user experience
As few as 20 users can be effectively deployed using 7Virtual Desktop Technology INTRODUCTION83% of mid-market companies reporting VDI adoption
In March2014 Dimensional ResearchReported that of 13,000 businessesOver 80% reporting VDI deployment

COMPLEXITYVDI Architecture: 2010As few as 20 users can be effectively deployed using 13Virtual Desktop Technology The LandscapeThe leading reasons for failed VDI Deployments:
The personnel responsible for Storage, Networking, Servers, and End-User support must all operate as one.
The Siloed-approach of years-past no longer works
Soviet Bloc-era desktops - users had little to no permission
Inability to determine performance & operational issues
Proof-of-Concept is scaled beyond scope without additional resources
As few as 20 users can be effectively deployed using 14Virtual Desktop Technology The Landscape
VDI Architecture: 2014Fewer Components
Tight integration between systems
Vastly improved management
A November 2008 Forrester Research report estimated each VDI user would cost an organization $1,760 for the cost of the thin client software, server, storage, and licenses for virtualization software, desktop OS, and applications.However, prices have dropped by about half since then, to $900 per user, says Natalie Lambert, the Forrester analyst who wrote the report (and is now a Citrix employee). As the technology continues to mature and prices decline, VDI should become economically and technologically viable for more and more businesses.
15Virtual Desktop Technology The LandscapeVDI has changed substantially
As few as 20 users can be effectively deployed using 16Virtual Desktop Technology The LandscapeFueling the changeFull-frame rate support for up to 4 monitors
HD+ video resolutions
Accessibility of local devices, including USB devices
An always-on desktop experience.
No updates, no downtime, no interruptions.
A consistent desktop experience accessible on any device
As few as 20 users can be effectively deployed using 17MANAGEMENT
High ratio of users to admins
Single-pane-of-glass End User device management
Ease of OS/Application deployment
SECURITY
BYOD/BYOC environments
Delegated Administration
Sensitive or Confidential data
FLEXIBILITY
Interchangeable hardware
Zero-touch deployment
Easy spares / replacement policy
Benefits of VDIUltra-fast (even automated) deployment of virtual desktops
Support BYOD/BYOC without complete policy rewrite
Secure/Regulated environments
Zero-client, Zero VPN solution
Consistent, enhanced performance regardless of end-user device
Benefits of VDI
VDI Case StudyLarge scale systems migrationOrganization of 220 professional office employeesFive primary groups of users in three offices End-users require access to internally-delivered applications while travelingComplex and poorly performing VPN solutionInconsistent end-user access and experience Geographically distributed office locations
VDI Case StudyLarge scale systems migrationZero client technology permits pre-staging end-user equipment
VDI technology permits new systems to be brought fully online while old systems remain in-use
Centralized management of end-user hardware permits knife edge go-live process
Single point of management allows existing IT staff to more thoroughly manage a higher density of end-users.
VDI Case StudyLarge scale systems migration
END-USER DEVICE(S)INFO & CONFIGVDI Case StudyRegulated DataHealthcare provider with 14 physicians and 43 support staff
Geographically dispersed offices with central IT staff
Personnel that dont have a single assigned computer.
Required access to legacy EMR systems
Need to access sizeable data files that are subject to HIPPA and HITECH regulation
Limited IT staff. Theyre unable to support office technology systems
Regular audits are a strain to existing staff. Mix of fixed and mobile technology presents audit challenge.
VDI Case StudyRegulated DataCentralized access to a managed Virtual Desktop using fixed or mobile technology.
Server-powered desktops that provide superior resources than traditional machines
Ability to increase Physician workload by removing dictation and data re-entry into eHR / EMR system.
Eliminate inconsistent performance for Physicians and Staff alike between offices
Improved workflow; Physicians can securely access eHR / EMR at home.
No Regulated Data leaves the organization
Audit-friendly single entry point access logging provided for regulators
VDI Case StudyMobile sales forceOrganization with multiple sales people that travel to customers offices
Backoffice sales support staff process orders on a delay
Need for electronic data capture and electronic signatures
Core applications not touch, tablet, or mobile enabled
VDI Case StudyMobile Sales PeopleUsing VDI, key applications are able to be delivered to any device
Centralized retention of captured data (photos) permits backoffice staff to work in conjunction in real-time with field sales staff
Native human interface abstraction permits touchscreen interface with key applications
Secure access to key applications using fixed and mobile devices provides greater flexibility
SummaryVDI is gaining rapid adoption in SMB and midmarket organizations
Cost to implement continues to steadily decline
Automated deployment of virtual desktops is a reality
VDI enables BYOD to be easily realized
An immense variety of client options are available
