CTU June 2011 - Enterprise Desktop Virtualisation with Microsoft and Citrix
This document discusses enterprise desktop virtualization solutions using Microsoft and Citrix technologies. It provides an overview of Citrix and Microsoft virtualization platforms and licensing models. It also summarizes the key components of delivering and managing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), including XenDesktop and XenApp for desktop and application delivery, Microsoft VDI suites for licensing, and System Center for management. Finally, it briefly discusses supported end user devices for connecting to virtual desktops and applications.

- #13 Machine type. Specifies where user desktops are hosted and how user personalization of desktops is accommodated. XenDesktop supports desktops hosted on both VMs and physical computers. If you decide to allow users to take ownership of a particular desktop and personalize it according to their needs, XenDesktop provides two different approaches to managing user customizations. You can choose to keep users' customizations, such as preferences or particular applications, separate from the master VM that the desktops are based on. This offers the advantage that you only need to work with a single VM to apply system-wide changes to thousands of users' desktops, such as applying Windows updates or adding a new application. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can choose to manage desktops individually, in the same way that you currently manage physical computers."Manually create virtual machines" - Pooled and dedicated catalog types are not available, only existing, physical and streamed will be in this pull down"Use XenDesktop to create desktops" if you want pooled or dedicated catalogs (all 5 types are available) PooledPooled machines provide desktops that are allocated to users on a per-session, first-come first-served basis. Users of pooled machines get a brand new desktop every time they log on. Pooled machines are direct copies of the master VM, although profile management can be used to apply users' personal settings to their desktops and applications. Any changes to pooled machines made by users with local administrator permissions for their desktops are stored for the duration of the session. However, these customizations are discarded when users log off. Maintaining a single master VM in the data center dramatically reduces update and upgrade maintenance efforts, and can reduce your storage costs by up to 90 percent.Best for task workers who require standardized desktops, such as call center operators, retail workers, or students and faculty in educational institutions . Best when you want to minimize desktop management and storage costs by providing a locked down standardized environment for your users.Reduce support, maintenance, and upgrade costs through the use of homogeneous workspaces and hardware.Optimize hardware usage by providing only the number of desktops that are required at any one time rather than assigning each user a specific desktop.Maintain control over desktops by limiting user permissions and preventing customization DedicatedDedicated machines provide desktops that are permanently assigned to individual users. Desktops can be assigned manually or automatically assigned to the first user to connect to them. Whenever users request a desktop, they are always connected to the same one. As a result, users can personalize the desktop to suit their needs. Desktop customizations are stored separately and overlaid on copies of the master VM to recreate users' desktops whenever a dedicated machine is started. Dedicated machines enable you to make significant savings on desktop management and storage costs by maintaining a single master VM in the data center for global updates such as operating system updates and upgrades, while users still get individual desktops that they can personalize.Best for task or knowledge workers who require individual desktops which they can take ownership of and personalize. Mobile workers who want to access the same desktop from a variety of endpoint devices over different networks and do not need to store data on their desktops Best when you want to reduce desktop management and storage costs while still providing your users with a personalized desktop experience .Reduce support and maintenance costs by standardizing certain aspects of users' desktops through the use of a common template .Support a wide range of different user requirements with the same common template .Deliver users' desktops to any endpoint device regardless of hardware capability .Minimize the time needed to provide additional desktops for new users ExistingThe existing machine type enables you to use XenDesktop to manage user desktops that you have already migrated to VMs in the data center. As with traditional local desktops, changes and updates are permanent and must be managed on an individual basis or collectively using third-party electronic software distribution (ESD) tools. Managing your existing VM-based desktops through XenDesktop affords you greater control over their power states; for example, you can configure XenDesktop to shut down VMs when users log off to minimize unnecessary power consumption in the data center.Best for personalized desktops on which they can store data .Want a high definition experience that matches their local desktops with the better reliability and higher availability offered by data center infrastructure.Best when you use XenDesktop to manage existing desktops hosted on VMs in the data center.Reduce support costs by centralizing user desktops in the data center without moving to a virtual desktop solution PhysicalThe physical machine type enables you to use XenDesktop to manage user desktops hosted on dedicated blade servers, or a mixture of blade servers and VMs, in the data center. As with traditional local desktops, changes and updates are permanent and must be managed on an individual basis or collectively using third-party ESD tools. Using blade servers enables you to support small numbers of users who have particularly demanding performance requirements. This approach offers all the benefits of centralization, but ensures dedicated processing power for each user by hosting only one desktop per server.Best for users who are technical workers or power users and use specialist graphics applications with demanding hardware requirements, such as computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) tools and geographic information system (GIS) applications .Have high performance level expectations for line of business applications .Require dedicated hardware Need personalized desktops on which they can store data .Best when you need to support users of applications that require dedicated specialist hardware .Leverage powerful server hardware instead of purchasing expensive high end PCs Reduce support and maintenance costs by centralizing complicated specialist systems in the data center StreamedThe streamed machine type enables you to provide desktops to repurposed PCs and thin clients that have been configured to load the operating system over the network from Provisioning Services. Target devices are managed in Provisioning Services as a device collection and the desktops are delivered from a Provisioning Services vDisk imaged from a master target device. Using Provisioning Services to deliver desktops enables you to leverage the processing power of existing local hardware, while realizing all the benefits of centralized desktop management. This approach offers an inexpensive entry point to desktop virtualization using existing local resources and reducing to a minimum the need for additional processing and storage capacity in the data center.Best fortask or knowledge workers who require either standardized desktops or individual desktops which they can take ownership of and personalize .Have existing PCs or thin clients that may be reaching the end of their lifecycle Do not need to access their desktops from outside the corporate network .Do not need to store data on their desktops Best when you want to deliver desktops to device collections containing mixtures of different types of PCs and thin clients Maximize data security by delivering desktops to diskless target devices Extend the lifecycle of existing local hardware while reducing support and maintenance costs Minimize the use of server resources
