3. Journey To The Cloud…
2014+
Virtualization 3.0 (Cloud
Computing)
The fully virtualized datacenter spans
internal and external cloud adaptive,
intelligent infrastructure service
oriented (IT as a service)
Virtualization 2.0  Integrated cloud management
2010  Utility billing/chargeback  Holistic monitoring/diagnosis
 Automation and Orchestration  Cross-hypervisor management
 Self-service portals  External cloud federation
 Storage virtualization  Platform as a Service
Virtualization 1.0  Client hypervisors  Virtualization-aware
 Tier-1 Applications applications
 Unplanned downtime  Mobility
 VDI  Consumerization of IT
 Resource  Converged Infrastructures

6. Market Dynamics

7. People Are Working Differently

8. Post PC Era Has Begun

9. It’s All About Policy

10. Market Dynamics
Quantifiable Qualifiable
PC Replacement Savings Improved Data and Endpoint Security
IT support cost savings from fewer Improved User Experience
problems and faster resolution
Improved worker productivity due to Better Business Continuity and
reduced PC downtime and greater Disaster Recovery
desktop mobility
Electricity savings from Thin Client and Enhanced Business Agility, e.g. more
Zero Client efficient outsourcing projects
Greater IT staff efficiency due to Ability to spend more time on
streamlined desktop management strategic projects

11. Why are you considering DV?
• Windows 7 Migration
• Cost savings and green IT
• Helpdesk efficiency / desktop management
 PC lifecycle Management
 User Experience
 Cloud integration
 BC/DR
 BYOD

12. Why Put The Desktop in the Datacenter
• Management
• Access
• Performance
• Security
• Single Instance Block Level

13. Desktop Virtualization Types

14. User Profiling
Mobile Users Types Of Users Task Users
Client Terminal
Hypervisor Streaming VDI Server / Blade
Type 1 & 2 Workstations
Application Virtualization

15. Server & Desktop Virtualization: “not a
mini me…”
• Server Virtualization is about
Consolidation, Containment
& Availability
• Desktop Virtualization is
about Standardization &
Customization
• Desktops will always have
exceptions
• Not much CapEx savings,
but Significant OpEx savings

16. BYOD
• Bring, Your Own Device
• Save on costs
• Maximize user experience
• Supportability
• Access to corporate network
• Private and corporate data mix
• Hardware ownership
• Encryption
• Data ownership

17. VDI: Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops
• VMs reside on servers in the data
center
• Server-based computing model
• Centralized management, access,
performance, and security
• VDI “secret sauce”:
– Storage
– Management
– User Personalization
www.sigmasolinc.com

18. VDI: Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops
• Ease of management
• Power savings
• Replace broken hardware with Thin
Clients
• Support savings
• Use of existing hardware
• Business continuity
• Backups
• Device independence
• Sensitive applications

19. Client Hypervisors – Type 1
• Standardized HAL
• Reduce initial investment
• Single Windows image
• Multiple VMs
• Enable BYOC
• Swap user machine
• Easier management and update
www.sigmasolinc.com

20. Client Hypervisors – Type 2
• Reliance on general-purpose OS
• Double, triple, or quadruple number
of managed VMs
• Patching
• Upgrading
• Antivirus
www.sigmasolinc.com

21. Application Virtualization
• Legacy Application Support
• Reduced Storage Requirements
• Reduce/Eliminate Application
Conflicts
• Centralized Management
• Centralized Distribution
• Not all apps can be virtualized
