Today, employees expect the corporate applications and data to be available to them on anywhere anytime basis. However, tightening of the corporate budgets is forcing IT to reduce operational cost while balancing employee and compliance needs. These business drivers are forcing organization to think new innovative way for redefining their traditional desktop environment. The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) approach is one the key aspect to meet the demanding business needs and hence VDI technology adoption has been clearly defined on the IT roadmap of many organizations.

2. Overview
In traditional desktop environment,
availability of desktop is the key end
users concern as they suffer
productivity loss in many ways caused
by downtime during PC refreshes OS
Migration, Patches and updates or
simply when they are away from the
office. Mostly as desktops are fixed
and issued to specific users, it binds
the user with the same device and
does not give any option to the users
for movement. On other hand, the IT
team faces challenge with various
management and security issues like
data loss, software corruption and
stolen IT peripherals in such
distributed environment.
Today, employees expect the
corporate applications and data to be
available to them on anywhere
anytime basis. However, tightening of
the corporate budgets is forcing IT to
reduce operational cost while
balancing employee and compliance
needs. These business drivers are
forcing organization to think new
innovative way for redefining their
traditional desktop environment.
The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
(VDI) approach is one the key aspect
to meet the demanding business
needs and hence VDI technology
adoption has been clearly defined on
the IT roadmap of many
organizations. This is particularly true
for industries that are under
regulatory pressure to secure
confidential data, have a high
proportion of distributed workforce
and organization that desire to have
high standardization and control.
Desktop virtualization is the concept
of isolating OS, application and data
from physical desktop and run it out
of centralized datacenter that enables
secure, flexible, mobile virtual
desktop environment. Most
organization leverage desktop
virtualization to drive more customer
satisfaction, making employee more
creative and execute innovative ideas
that contributes to the organization
growth.

3. Desktop Virtulization IT Pain Points
Ÿ User Acceptance - Even though desktop virtualization provides different model but in
on organization there are various users for whom designing and delivering an apt
model considering user workload and performance requirement are important
factors. Just implementing virtual desktop for everyone sometimes create user
adoption issues and ruins the project.
Ÿ Storage Design - Storage is a critical part of the virtual desktop solution. Many of the
potential desktop savings can be erased by higher storage costs as desktop data is
moved to more expensive data center storage. Centralized system outages can now
impact hundreds or thousands of users at a time. A virtual desktop architecture often
requires SAN connectivity for the virtualization servers and NAS connectivity for end-
user storage which requires multiple storage systems. Other key concerns like boot
storm, login storm are more sensitive and critical for virtual desktop performance,
and hence right sizing of storage is key factor for success.
Ÿ Network Bandwidth - Desktop virtualization brings all physical desktops into
centralized datacenter and provides user access to a virtual desktop over standard
network infrastructure. VDI technology despite having user experience protocol, may
not be just simply native experience for every enterprise environment. Therefore it is
very crucial to consider network design enhancement and optimization factors based
on unique environment.
Ÿ Application Compatibility - Most of enterprises use standard application for
supporting virtual desktops. Still there are plenty of legacy and custom application
that may not run directly on virtual desktops and there are some applications which
need special environment or dependency to work. Hence, deciding on application set
for VDI workload, and defining methodology for rest of the application prior to VDI
adoption is prudent.
Ÿ Cost Impact - VDI as technology involves complex infrastructure requirement and
capital investment. It is therefore important to correctly estimate the infrastructure
investment, breakeven point and ROI for the successful VDI project.
