Editor's Notes
- There are three major sections to the material covered in this presentation: Why customers around the world are rapidly adopting virtualization and VMware. Where do Blade PC’s and Workstation Blades fit into the picture Implementing virtualization and best practices used to ensure success.
- All remote PC solutions offer: Data security Lower total costs Remote access Better environmentals let’s talk about how are the remote PC solutions different.
- Desktop virtualization centrally hosts and delivers a cost efficient desktop environment from within the datacenter by consolidating many physical desktops onto a single server.
- Desktop virtualization – an overview Improves manageability Centralizes resources and control Increases standardization Reduces cost of administration Enables rapid deployment of desktops Increases flexibility Enables pooling and sharing of desktop infrastructure Seamless desktop experience anywhere Simplifies security Centralizes data Centralizes control Let’s first look at the basic definition and key benefits for desktop virtualization. On the right hand side of the slide is a simple graphic showing a server based architecture for desktop virtualization. The solution starts in the data center on HP ProLiant or BladeSystem servers, with option connectivity to a SAN. Installed on the servers is the virtualization software that provides the many to one desktop to server ratio. This includes HP partners such as VMware, MS Virtual Server, and Citrix. Citrix can be either the tradition terminal services environment, or their new desktop broker product (more info in backup materials). MSVS & VMware are virtualization technologies that house guest OS’s & applications in individual virtual machines on the server. The virtual desktops run within the virtualized software on the servers; Windows XP, for example. Many customers choose to incorporate into the solution a utility which connects clients to the centrally located servers/blade PC’s & data. We’ll talk more about the different solutions and desktop environments, but often customers serve multiple end user environments with multiple virtual desktop infrastructures. The connection manager helps connect the appropriate desktop user to the appropriate hardware and virtualization software solution on the back end. Next a remote protocol is required to interface over the network between the client devices and the servers in the datacenter. MS RDP, Remote Desktop Protocol, is commonly used.
- User profile and data Enables VMotion
- Server selection: Number of cores Number of processors Memory expansion for the price AMD vs Intel Blades vs DL User types: Task worker Knowledge worker Heavy user Specialty users: financial traders, engineering workstations, graphics rendering
- Let’s take a look at the issues that are behind the need for desktop virtualization: This slide only begins to capture the various issues facing IT administrators today Heterogeneous hardware on the desktop requires multiple PC images for each machine High management cost due to labor intensive technical support and administrative inefficiencies. Instead of focusing on new or strategic projects, IT spends time on trivial tasks like resetting passwords or hardware maintenance Of course, security is one of the main issues facing IT today, and constant upgrading and patching of a decentralized workforce makes maintaining a security even more complicated. Enterprise PCs are considered one of the most underutilized IT asset today
