VDI - Optimisation as a ServiceGuarantees End User Experience for Remote VDI Deployment

Optimisation is not just a nice to have it is absolutely essential and integrates seamlessly into your virtual environment.

A major limiting factor to achieving the expected VDI marketgrowth is the ability to offer an acceptable user experience toVDI users deployed across the corporate WAN.

The VDI Optimisation as a Service (VDI - OaaS) proposition isthe first to market service offering that guarantees best possible user experience for VDI across the corporate WAN.

There is a market acceptance that while VDI deployments aregrowing exponentially, the optimisation of the network is increasingly understood to be an absolute pre-requisite to asuccessful deployment. Arrow ECS is the first VAD with a fullyintegrated service that resolves this issue.

Optimisation as a Service (VDI - OaaS) could be an integral part of any VDI remote deployment across the WAN. VDI - OaaS is an Arrow ECS service wrapped around a virtualised optimisation application that also has integrated QoS withLayer 7 visibility.

VDI - OaaS guarantees the best possible end user performance and therefore customer acceptance of any VDI remotely deployed solution.

Quick Pitch

• VDI – OaaS provides a guaranteed end user experiencefor remote VDI deployments

• The services negate the need for an expensive WAN upgrade and lengthy delays to the remote VDI deployment that delays the realisation of reduced IT spend

• The service optimises all applications traversing thecorporate WAN

• VDI – OaaS has an integrated QoS engine providing allapplication visibility, management and control includingvoice and video

• VDI - OaaS is a virtual machine optimisation applicationthat tightly and seamlessly integrates with your virtualised environments including Citrix, VMware, Microsoft and SUN ALP

• VDI – OaaS is offered on a monthly payment OP-Ex model

Impact on their Business

• Reduced staff productivity

• Costly WAN upgrade taking many months

• Inability to reduced cost of corporate infrastructure

• Business critical applications underperforming resulting in poor staff productivity

Customer Issues

• Unacceptable user experience

• WAN bandwidth issues

• High cost of IT Infrastructure

• Lack of visibility of the corporate application platform

• Inability to deliver a consistent level of service toall users and all applications

• Integration of all IT services, e.g. voice and video integrating with business critical applications

• Uncertain as to the impact on current end user services

• Unaware of any spare capacity available for VDImigration or delivering a new application

• New applications and their impact on the existing infrastructure

• Unaware of current WAN bandwidth utilisationby application

Benefits of VDI - OaaS

• Delivering best possible end user experience andhence improved staff productivity

• Instant bandwidth improvement delivering theability to support 10 x more users

• Enables IT budget targets to be achieved

• Delivers a full suite of business critical application policies ensuring consistent and end user acceptable performance

• Optimises all applications including video andmanages voice quality and availability

• The service includes a new application impact analysis

• The service implementation includes a corporateWAN base line analysis

Who will benefit from VDI – Optimisation as a Service?

Any organisation implementing VDI that is delivered across aWAN will benefit from this service. All VDI projects will benefitfrom the introduction of a virtual optimisation layer that ensures the VDI platform delivers the best possible end user experience.

Additionally the business will benefit from overall control andmanagement that VDI – OaaS delivers. 99% of all VDI implementations are delivered across a corporate WAN thatshares its capacity with other none VDI applications. It is imperative that all applications share the available capacity inrelation to their criticality to the overall business operation. The service ensures this happens.

Although the service is VDI focused all legacy applications(WAFS/CIFS) plus VDI are optimised providing an all encompassing optimisation capability that includes remote virtual DNS, DHCP and print server. The corporate entity benefitfrom the assurance that by deploying VDI – OaaS the end userexperience is ‘best in class’ and is delivered on a zero CAP-Ex basis.

The service protects the existing investment in a virtualised environment through tight and seamless integration intoVMware, Citrix, Microsoft and SUN ALP virtual environments.

• Supports x 10 times more users on the same bandwidth from the branch to the data centre using our patented compression techniques

• Prioritises business critical application using Layer-7 QoS

• Mitigate latency and accelerate file downloads, presentationsand print tasks using TCP acceleration, tightly integrated withcompression and QoS

• Seamless integration into the network and VDI in the data centre

• Login and configuration tasks have a faster response time

• All application visibility and monitoring capabilities for management of the total corporate WAN infrastructure
