6. The What - Hosted Virtual Desktops (HVD)
Hosted Virtual Desktop (HVD) - It's your very own private Windows PC, that
you can connect to from anywhere on the planet. Jump from tablet to laptop
to phone and keep working without missing a beat.

7. The What - Hosted Virtual Desktops (HVD)
HVD enables a centralized desktop strategy that allows for quick and secure
access to applications and desktops. HVD’s can be accessed from any network-
connected device, including new PCs, older hardware, and thin clients. In
addition, all data and applications are stored centrally, ensuring a higher level
of data security and helping simplify regulatory compliance.

8. The What - Hosted Virtual Desktops (HVD)
When using HVD, you can present users with an entire desktop environment or
just the individual applications. Data is centrally stored and can be accessed by
hosted virtual desktops or SaaS applications. From a user perspective, these
applications are integrated seamlessly. They look, feel and behave like local
applications

16. The Flavors of VDI
Non-Persistent
aka stateless
The major disadvantage of non-persistent desktops is that any
customizations made by users and any applications that are
delivered outside of the base image are lost after each desktop
reboot.
• simple roll-out and update of basic images
• guaranteed to be 100% identical
• user always has the same (clean) desktop
• less effort due to the standardization of images.
• zero Windows configuration drift
• less storage is required because a single base operating
system image can be shared across many desktops

17. The Flavors of VDI
Persistent
aka stateful
The major disadvantage of persistent desktops is the high cost.
Persistent desktops also offer little operational cost savings, since
they are managed one at a time like physical PCs, using the same
agent-based PC management tools.
• users have freedom to install software within the desktop
• personalization and settings maintain through reboots
• least operational upheaval when migrating from PC model
• users are assigned dedicated virtual machines & custom
resources which remain the same every time they login

18. The Flavors of VDI
Layered
aka My Favorite
• users have freedom to install software within the desktop
• personalization and settings maintain through reboots
• least operational upheaval when migrating from PC model
• less storage is required because a single base operating
system image can be shared across many desktops
• simple roll-out and update of basic images
• standardization of images, simpler application packaging and
ability to rollback or “undo” OS and application patches.

and stateless desktops in one solution!

20. Why Application Virtualization?
Application Server Farm
Several different devicesInstall once, deliver anywhere
Smaller storage footprint
Easy application deployment 1 to 10,000
Zero Application Drift – Sandboxed
Seamless updates & patches
Consistent end-user experience Security & Compliance

21. Application Virtualization
Applications are executed on the local device
but only certain components are downloaded,
making it possible to function without a
network connection.
Remote Applications
Run on a remote server rather than on a client
device. Agile DR
Application Streaming
Run non-native apps.. i.e Quickbooks on iPad
Applications can be faster using more robust
CPU/GPU in addition to the proximity of
corporate data

35. Cost of Doing Nothing
• IT spending and complexity inhibits business growth
• The business is exposed to disruptions and disasters
• Workers remain tethered to the office
• Security breaches increase with more devices
• Your competition can gain an advantage

36. Executive's in the Field
“As a remote executive, I struggled every time I needed to
access the company’s intranet, which forced me to VPN into
the network. I also kept data on my local device because
trying to access it over my broadband connection was too
slow. Some coworkers did the same and lost data due to a
virus, thankfully I was luckier. “
“Since moving to a virtual desktop, I’m able to use any device.
I’m able to work from any location. And best of all, I don’t
have to worry about copying my data and applications onto all
of my personal devices. I paid for these devices; I don’t want
work to clutter up my personal space.”
