9 Agenda Eurodata Overview What is VDI Choosing a vendor Demonstrating ROI Questions

10 What is VDI? 10

11 What is VDI? Desktop virtualisation Separates desktop environment from the physical desktop Delivering desktops from the datacentre Use a terminal to connect to back end Similar to Terminal server or "Citrix 11

12 What is VDI? Physical desktop needs a client The Virtual Machines (VM) require an agent Could use physical blade PC's instead of VM's at the back-end Licencing is typically per user 12

13 Benefits Compatibility: Apps run on a desktop OS, not a server OS Security - data is held centrally Run latest OS & Apps on old hardware Thin or Light desktops 13

14 Benefits Remote troubleshooting easier Patching and updates easier Enables outsourcing or remote working 14

15 Problems Cost Requires enterprise grade backend Still managing something on the desktop LAN / WAN bandwidth and quality Peripherals (scanners, cameras, etc) Sizing how do you size the environment? Disk foot print how many images? 15

16 Problems Small issues could be amplified Network Issues (Routing, spanning tree) Server room (Cooling & Power) Hardware monitoring (disks, PSU,memory) Human error 16

17 Agenda Eurodata Overview What is VDI Choosing a vendor Demonstrating ROI Questions

18 Choosing a vendor VMware View Citrix XenDesktop 18

19 VMware View & PCoIP VMware View PCoIP licenced from Teradici Needs full client installed on PC web client only supports RDP Limited software client support (Mac support just added) Can use ZeroClients stateless display devices Bandwidth hungry 19

20 VMware View - Backend Broker is called Connection server Much simpler to setup Uses linked clones Can use blade PCs etc Requires Virtual Centre and shared storage (SAN) 20

21 Citrix XenDesktop & ICA Very mature, stable and widely deployed The most efficient - uses FAR less bandwidth than RDP or PCoIP Wide client support (Win,Mobile,Mac,Blackberry,Android,Iphone,Ipad) Integrates with Xenapp seamlessly Plug-in peripheral support very good 21

22 ICA 10x more efficient Large spreadsheet screen resolution Scrolling up and down ICA used ~200Kb/s RDP used ~1200Kb/s PCoIP used ~4500Kb/s 22

23 XenDesktop - Backend Broker is the Delivery Controller Provisioning server serves the VM disk Virtual machines are diskless Run from shared streamed image Use PXE boot will not co-exist Changes lost on reboot Consider location of write cache 23

24 Agenda Eurodata Overview What is VDI Choosing a vendor Demonstrating ROI Questions

25 Demonstrating ROI Benefits of VDI; Quantifiable & Qualifiable Main concerns: Licensing & TCO Calculating ROI for VDI implementation 25

26 Demonstrating ROI Benefits Quantifiable Qualifiable PC Replacement Savings Improved Data and Endpoint Security IT Support staff savings from fewer problems and faster resolution Improved worker productivity due to reduced PC downtime and greater desktop mobility Electricity savings from thin client Greater IT staff efficiency due to faster Move/Add/Delete Improved User Experience Better Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Enhanced Business Agility, e.g. more efficient outsourcing projects Ability to spend more time on strategic projects Less time spent travelling to remote sites to provide desk side support Reduced risk of expensive equipment theft from remote offices and hence data loss 26

27 Demonstrating ROI Huge Interest but two main concerns: Licensing & TCO Traditional desktop model is good enough 21% High upfront data center build out costs Management software for virtual desktops not User experience concerns TCO story is still in question Expense of Microsoft software licensing policy 36% 42% 50% 55% 63% Source: Goldman Sachs IT Spending Survey, Jan

28 Demonstrating ROI Microsoft Licensing Microsoft Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) Licensing for hosted desktops Includes virtual OS Academic pricing approx per month per device 36 months has to be paid in advance Licensing existing desktops Need to purchase an OS upgrade with SA license Academic pricing approx. 75 per user 28

40 Demonstrating ROI ROI calculation of implementing VDI Description Yr 1 Yr 2 Yr 3 Yr 4 Yr 5 Investment 455, , , , ,314 Saving - 4, , , , ,215 ROI % % % 8.20% 45.58% Payback 3.32 Years This ROI calculation includes only the saving detailed in the slides before, it does not include any other potential saving that deploying a VDI environment might deliver and as such reduce the payback period. 40

41 Demonstrating ROI Conclusion: ROI is achievable! Payback is a over a long term period Consider re-use of existing desktops to reduce project implement costs and hence reduce payback period Costs associated with supporting users spread across numerous sites not considered within figures, if this was included this could again improve the ROI and reduce payback period 41
