Challenges Facing Your Business
• Limited workplace flexibility
• Security restricts mobility and devices
• Moves, adds, changes take days
• Constant refresh with limited gains

Opportunities For Your Business
• Enable virtual work styles
• Leverage the latest mobile devices
• Rapidly adapt to business change
• Transform desktop computing

Challenges for the Desktop Environment
• How do I maintain or improve desktop
management when I’m required to do more with
less?
• Information and data is our most important
asset— we spend too much time recovering lost
data from stolen laptops
• Just managing the patches on my OS is a full
time job, what about the rest of my
environment?
• 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 quickly when employees
are mobile and scattered across the world
• I’m unsure how to secure my VDI environment
from hackers, malware and inappropriate use

Why Virtualize Your Desktops?
TRADITIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Thousands of desktop systems distributed
through the enterprise
Distributed data needs to be managed
Each user has there own C: drive with boot disk and
user data
IT supports/maintains remote systems
Includes hardware compatibility and software updates
CONSOLIDATED ENVIRONMENT
Thin Clients access data and applications
over the network
Centralized boot disk and user data
Allows IT to enforce corporate policies for what is on desktop
Simplified software management and hardware independence
Thin Clients
Desktop VMs
VMware vSphere

New FLASH 1st Data Strategy
Hot data on fast Flash SSDs — cold data on dense disks
“Hot”

As data ages, activity
falls, triggering automatic

FAST Suite = FAST Cache + FAST VP
Why FAST is good for XenDesktop
• FAST Cache continuously ensures
that the hottest data is served from
high performance FLASH SSDs
• FAST VP (Virtual Pools)* optimizes
storage pools automatically,
ensuring that active data is being
served from Flash Drives, while
cold data is moved to lower cost
disk tiers
• Together they deliver a fully
automated FLASH 1st storage
strategy for optimal performance at
the lowest cost attainable
• Monitor and Tune the whole system
with the complementary Unisphere
QoS Manager and Unisphere

• Highest performance and capacity efficiency—automatically!
