The document provides 7 scenarios describing how to properly license Windows for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. It explains that for devices covered under Software Assurance, no additional licensing is required to access VDI desktops. However, devices not covered by Software Assurance, such as thin clients, require Windows Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses, which are $100 per year per device. The document provides guidance on the number of VDA licenses needed for each scenario based on the number of non-Software Assurance accessing devices.

Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized DesktopLouis Göhl
Virtualization brings about new use cases that did not previously exist in traditional desktop environments. These use cases include the ability to create multiple desktops dynamically, enable user access to multiple virtual machines (VMs) simultaneously, and move desktop VMs across multiple platforms, especially in load-balancing and disaster recovery situations. Microsoft designed Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD) to enable organizations to license virtual copies of Windows client operating systems in virtual environments.

A well-designed, feature rich VDI solution can make a significant difference in maximizing datacenter resources efficiency, and minimizing unwanted downtime. Failure to do both these things can drive up per user costs and affect user satisfaction. VMware Horizon View 5.2 reclaimed 27 percent of its previously used disk space from its virtual desktop, ran more efficient AV scans, and when deploying VMs, the VMware solution was faster than the Citrix solution by 38 percent. If your business needs to manage the time and resource burdens created by a VDI user base, VMware Horizon View 5.2 on VMware vSphere 5.1 provides strong advantages over Citrix XenDesktop 7 hosted on Citrix XenServer 6.2.
VDI Choices - Citrix XenDesktop, XenApp or VDI in a Box?eG Innovations
A growing number of companies are virtualising desktop environments to reduce cost and boost flexibility. The dizzying array of available solutions can make the first step quite difficult - what virtualization technology is right for my organization? Citrix alone offers XenDesktop, XenApp and VDI in a box. While Citrix desktop virtualisation often seems like a simple project; user experience problems, delayed deployments, and cost overruns can quickly turn this project into a nightmare.
Join the webinar "Desktop Virtualisation Choices: Citrix XenDesktop, XenApp or VDI in a Box - How to Decide" and learn from UK Citrix desktop virtualization expert Andrew Wood (Gilwood CS Ltd) how to decide what virtualisation technology best fits your needs.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Desktop Virtualization from Microsoft
Desktop Virtualization is a set of technologies focused on optimizing
desktop operations. It helps IT tune the desktop environment to
better fit the different end users needs by separating desktop
resources from each other.
Microsoft provides a comprehensive set of desktop virtualization
solutions to help in optimizing the desktop infrastructure. Microsoft
recommends that customers begin their desktop virtualization
project by virtualizing applications and the user state. These
technologies can help decrease the desktop TCO by reducing
operational costs and standardizing the desktop environment. Once
a strong foundation has been laid, Microsoft recommends that
customers evaluate the desktop virtualization technologies at the
OS layer. These technologies can help increase business flexibility by
introducing new deployment options.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) enables organizations to deploy
Windows-based desktops in the datacenter, and enables remote
access to these desktops from any authorized device, including thin
clients. Not only does this enable anywhere access to connected
devices, but it also improves business continuity and centralizes
management of desktops. VDI can also help customers improve
their compliance to strict industry regulations by securing desktops
behind the datacenter. Due to these benefits, VDI is an ideal solution
for scenarios that place a premium on security and management,
providing managed desktops to third party/contractor PCs or
employee-owned PCs, or providing centralized desktops to remote
offices/branch offices.
The Microsoft VDI Suites
The Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Suites (Microsoft
VDI Suites) enable customers to centralize their desktops using
comprehensive VDI infrastructure and management software from
Microsoft. The new Microsoft VDI Suites simplify licensing, and provide
better value than competing VDI technologies, making them an
excellent value compared to competitive offerings. The VDI Suites
are licensed per end point device, and hence are independent of the
volume of server and management infrastructure.
End point devices that do not qualify for Software Assurance
(such as thin clients) may also need additional Windows Virtual
Desktop Access (VDA) licensing.
Together, the Microsoft VDI Suites and Windows VDA provide a simple,
device-based licensing model for your VDI environment.
There are two suites on offer from Microsoft for VDI:
• Microsoft VDI Standard Suite includes technologies such as:
– Microsoft Hyper-VTM Server 2008 R2: A reliable, scalable,
and high performance hypervisor.
– Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM),
System Center Operations Manager (SCOM), and System Center
Configuration Manager (SCCM): Familiar Windows-based tools
to streamline management of your VDI infrastructure.
– Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP): Market-leading
application virtualization technology to enable dynamic
application delivery, along with other desktop virtualization and
management technologies.
– Windows Server Remote Desktop Services (RDS): Basic
infrastructure and connection brokering capabilities to deliver
static or pooled virtual desktops to users.
• Microsoft VDI Premium Suite includes all the technology within
the Standard Suite, and additionally provides:
– Full Remote Desktop Services functionality to enable both session-
based and VM-based desktops through the same set of tools,
thereby providing additional deployment flexibility.
– Microsoft Application Virtualization for RDS: To help remove the
silos around session-based application delivery.
In addition to our VDI technology, Microsoft has extended its
partnerships with ISVs such as Citrix® to enable enterprise grade
performance and scalability for Microsoft VDI environments.
For example, Citrix XenDesktop adds value to the Microsoft platform
by providing single image management, storage optimization,
and a rich remote user experience across multiple types of network
and device configurations.
The Value of Windows VDA and
Software Assurance Virtual Desktop Rights
Licensing Windows through SA or Windows VDA provides
inherent benefits over traditional Windows licenses such as OEM
and FPP, since they were not designed for the VDI scenario.
These subscriptions have been designed to provide the licensing
flexibility you need for your VDI environment, and include the
following features:

How to Get Windows VDA Benefits Today?
Contact your local Microsoft representative to learn how to
avail of Windows VDA and Windows Client software Assurance
benefits today.
Licensing Windows for VDI
Microsoft has announced changes to its licensing model for Windows-
based desktops in a VDI environment, which will come into effect
on July 1st, 2010. The older Windows VECD and Windows VECD for
SA licenses will be discontinued, and will no longer be available on
the pricelist. Please contact your local Microsoft representative to
understand details around how this impacts your current agreement
with Microsoft.
Customers that intend to use Windows PCs already covered under
Software Assurance as the access device to their VDI environment
can now do so at no additional cost. Windows Client SA now allows
organizations the right to deploy Windows in the datacenter, thereby
increasing the value of their SA subscription.
Customers that intend to use devices that do not qualify for SA (such as
thin clients or third party devices) will need to license those devices with
Windows Virtual Desktop Access.
Windows VDA is a device-based subscription that currently retails for
$100/device/year. Since Windows VDA is licensed per accessing device,
it is independent of number of desktop VMs in the datacenter, allowing
access to up to 4 VMs concurrently. Each Windows VDA license also
includes extended roaming rights, which allow the primary user of a
Windows VDA device at work to access their personal VDI desktop
from any device not owned or controlled by their corporation, thereby
allowing them to roam between devices outside of the corporate firewall.
