The document discusses the driving factors behind virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in businesses, emphasizing the shift to desktop virtualization due to increasing mobility, changing device ownership, and the need for improved data security. It highlights the benefits of VDI such as enhanced user flexibility, reduced costs, and increased management efficiency, while also introducing VMware's ThinApp and Horizon platforms for application delivery and data management. The content outlines various strategies for successful implementation of virtual desktops in a post-PC era, underlining the importance of a comprehensive assessment process for transitioning to a virtualized environment.

Desktop Virtualization
Seven key factors are driving VDI in today’s business climate
1. Windows 7 migration
2. Increasing mobility of “work”…it is no longer a place for a lot of people
3. Ownership of end point devices is changing with BYOC programs
4. Many device types accessing applications and data
5. Complexity and cost of managing existing desktop environments
6. Need for rapid recovery from theft, failure and disasters
7. Data security and compliance concerns

Virtualization Virtualization
• Virtualization breaks the bond between each layer
• Allows IT to manage each layer separately
• Users can pick HW and apps while still locking down desktop
• Supports server hosted desktops and PCs

13. Create Conflict Free Applications
Problem:
• Tightly coupled relationships between
OS, Applications and Data
Symptoms:
• Application Conflicts
• Complex Compatibility Test Matrices
• Diminished Time to Deployment
• Loss of User Productivity
• Increased helpdesk support calls

– Data Gathering
– Pre-virtualisation Analysis
– Access Strategy Document provides the go-forward plan
Application / workload Insights –
– What applications / workloads do I have in my environment?
– Which ones would thrive in a virtualized environment?
– Which ones will have problems if virtualized?
User Insights –
– Which user environments should be virtualized?
Virtualization Options –
– Which architecture? Should I use Application Virtualization? Which apps?
– How should I configure storage?
Capacity –
– How much CPU, memory and IO am I currently consuming?
– How should I define the virtual machines based on the resource demands?
– How do I account for workload, user need, time of day, geography and other factors?
Migration –
– What is the best path to transition from a traditional to a virtualized environment without disrupting
operations?
Management –
– How do I manage the resulting physical and virtual servers?
Drives clear understanding of scope and impact of project, the resources required and builds a valuable
detailed planning and requirements document.
