Challenges in a PC Centric World

How do I maintain or improve desktop management when I’m required to do more

with less?

with diverse end-user requirements managing the variety of end point devices

has become an overwhelming and expensive task

I spend a lot of time on desktop support calls.

But I really need to focus on strategic IT initiatives that really add value.

It is difficult to respond quicklywhen employees are mobile and scattered across the world.

Windows 7 is here,I need to prepare for it!

Information and data is our most important asset.

We spend too much time recovering lost

data from stolen laptops.

I feel like I’m constantly patching and upgrading

applications and OS images

How can I securely leverage SaaS and Cloud architectures in my

existing environment?

How do I support all these new devices?.

My users are getting more demanding and want more

access on and offline.

• Purpose built for desktop delivery over LAN and WAN

• UDP based for rich multimedia delivery

• Dynamic network adjustments

• End to end software implementation

• Optional hardware acceleration for graphically intense application

• Supports low cost, “zero” clients• Supports new devices

VMware View with PCoIP

High Resolution•Built over time as user remains on page & bandwidth permits

•Full resolution image & text

Medium Resolution• Built over a few

frames• Higher quality

PCoIP Details: Frame Rate

30fps – PCOIP Default (NTSC Television standard)

24fps – Citrix HDX Default (Film Standard)

16fps – Good Video Quality

8fps – Basic Office Desktop

2fps – Simple Tasks (Degraded experience for most workers)

The default PCoIP frame rate is 6fps higher than Citrix HDX. A good user experience can be had at even lower values, depending on

the use case and workloads. PCoIP can be configured to use up to 120fps

PCoIP Device Support – iPad Client

Free on App Store

• Intuitive Gesture Support• Realistic Trackpad• Full Windows Keyboard• Secure Remote Access• Run Windows and hence

Flash Websites, from your iPad

VMware View & PCoIP in action at VMworld 2010

.5

All labs were run on View 4.5 with PCoIP, architecture and network performance are as follows: Bandwidth is fixed at dual DS3 (45 Mb) pipes

Total of 480 concurrent sessions:

• 480 Wyse P20 zero clients driving dual monitor desktops (Teradici PCoIP zero client processor onboard)

• Streaming 120 PCoIP session connections to Florida Datacenter ( increased to 240 by the end of VMworld)

• Streaming 120 PCoIP session connections to Virginia Datacenter • Locally running 240 PCoIP connections • Running VMware View™ 4.5 • Lab sessions use a Flash driven full screen menu and attendees

describe screen motion as extremely smooth, responsive, and crisp.

• 480 sessions to 3 datacenters over WAN• PCoIP traffic per session averages 100 Kb - 130 Kbps

Streamline Image Management

Easily Manage Thousands of Desktops• Decrease storage costs by 70%

• Fewer images = easier to manage

• Separate OS Image and User Data Disks

• Guarantee updates and patches

Storage Performance and Optimization•Tiered storage support

•Leverage different tiers of storage to maximize performance vs. cost

Tier I - $$$

Tier II - $$

17

Local Mode for Offline Access and Mobility

Check out virtual desktops to physical devices

Support devices that lose network connectivity

Extend policies to offline users

“Heartbeat” back to datacenter

• Synchronization, Update, Remote Expiration

Support mobile users, contractors and EOIT/BYOPC use cases
