2. 2
Agenda
 Remote Office Overview
• Challenges
 Remote Office Solutions
• Horizon View
• Horizon Mirage
• Horizon Distributed View

3. 3
Let’s Define the Target Market
 Who has branch offices?
• Almost everyone (Finance, Insurance, Manufacturing, Education, etc.)
 Why are branch offices challenging?
• Centralized vs Distributed management
• Application and data access
• WAN
• Support and maintenance
 And….branch offices are changing….

5. 5
Horizon Challenges with Branch Office Deployments
• Low Bandwidth
• High Latency
• Potential for WAN outages
WAN Connectivity
• Local PC, Applications and Services
• Local peripheral performance e.g. Printing
Branch Execution
• Delivering other Branch services (DHCP, Print Services)
• Sizing central storage for peak IOPS
Design Considerations

6. 6
Transform: Simplify
desktops, diverse apps
and data into
centralized services
Deliver: Empower your
workforce with flexible
access across devices,
locations and connectivity
VMware Horizon is the Platform for Branch Offices
Broker: Manage & Secure
centrally and broker services
to your workforce by policy

Centralized Image Mgmt.
Highly efficient de-duplication &
synchronization (even over WAN)

11. 11
Mirage Server
• Images are being stored and
manipulated in data center
• Unlike VDI, Images are not
running in data center
• Images synchronized with end
points automatically
• Logical layering of images
enhances granular capabilities
Centralized Images
Network Optimized
Synchronization & Streaming
• Only stores data once
• Only transfers what is not present
on destination
• All transfers compressed
Base Layer
Desktops, Laptops, or
Persistent VMs with
Mirage Client
• Endpoints always running local
copy of Windows
• Does not require hyper-visor or format
• Local drivers leveraged
• Changes from Mirage merged
directly into Windows
End Users

CACHE
• Mirage is leveraged at HQ site to create and store base images
and CVDs of managed endpoints
• Dedicated branch reflector VM in the branch site to act as a local
cache for staging deployments

Horizon Distributed View (New in View 5.2)
 View desktops execute and run at branch office
 View management Infrastructure at central data center
 WAN optimization for application and file services
 Validated Solutions with Riverbed and Cisco

• Low Bandwidth
• High Latency
• Potential for WAN outages
• WAN latency is no longer a concern
• No dependence on WAN connectivity
• Applications accelerated across WAN link providing bandwidth and
latency optimizations.
• Delivering other Branch services (DNS, DHCP, AD)
• Sizing central storage for peak IOPS
• Branch services (DNS, DHCP, AD) available
• Local SSD/SAN IOPS at the branch
• Branch consolidation and disaster recovery built-in
• Local Applications and Services
• Local peripheral performance e.g. Printing
• View Sessions execute over local LAN
• Centralized provisioning, management and security maintained
• Peripherals supported at LAN speed
