This was the deck I used at the Troy MI Lunch N Learn on 12/15/2010

1. Why Virtual Desktops today? Tommy Trogden Sr. vSpecialist Twitter: @vTexan Blog: www.vTexan.com

2. The Journey to The Private Cloud If you are virtualizing, you are on the journey. APPS Existing Enterprise Apps Oracle, SAP, SQL, Exchange, SharePoint Revenue-generating Next Generation Apps DW/BI (GreenPlum), OLTP, Collaboration File, Print, IT Ops

3. A butterfly flaps its wings… A storage hurricane is on the way in the shape of VDI What's driving VDI adoption? Desktops are aging – some are 4 to 5+ years old. Windows 7, Security & Desktop Disaster Recovery are some of the key drivers in the move to VDI architecture. Desktop Group   Storage Group ?? Storage infrastructure is typically the # 1 reason VDI deployments have issues.

5. Outsourcing & off-shoring

7. Security

9. Support

13. Dynamic, Flexible Infrastructure

14. Protect the migrated user data

15. Secure user access

16. Must reduce TCO per user

17. Current infrastructure designed for server workloads

18. Large number of VMs to manage

19. Aggressive and somewhat unpredictable performance profiles

20. Small changes have a big impact (10 IOPS per desktop multiplies)

21. Availability and performance requirements increase99% 99.999% ~1200 IOPS 1.2 TB ~10 IOPS 10 GB

22. Private Cloud Storage “What Do Enterprises Ask For?” Accelerate, don’t get in the way Single Pane of Glass – all protocols, all tasks, all functions vCenter Integrated – 95% reduction in steps for common tasks Simple Infrastructure as efficient as VMware Most efficient storage. Up to 50% reduction in capacity Efficient Act as an extension of VMware itself Offload VMware tasks and replicas to storage with up to four times faster performance VMware Integrated

23. What do customers ask for when they are deploying VMware View?

24. Solving the big barriers…. Step 1 = Lowering the cost of storage by… A LOT.

25. First – what about capacity? 1000 users, 10GB per desktop = 10TB – right? Wrong… Operating System View Composer = savings capacity requirements for OS storage 60:1 savings (non-persistent) 2:1 - 5:1 savings (persistent) Applications Thin App = 50:1 savings for app storage Assuming only 50% of apps can be virtualized Storage Dedupe/Compress + Archive = savings on user data storage 4:1 savings (being conservative)

26. Is the problem solved? 10:1 capacity reduction means all 1000 users can run on 1TB of storage – right? Wrong… 1TB of storage fits on one spindle How many hard drives are in 1000 desktops/laptops? How do we solve THAT problem?

27. The Case for Enterprise Flash Drives The Challenge Architecting a View Environment to size for BOTH capacity and performance at scale when leveraging Linked Clone or Snapshot Technology The Analysis 1000 x 10GB boot images = 1TB >80% capacity savings 8-10 iops per user ≈ 10,000 iops The Result at scale, data reduction technologies + EFD saves you $$$ How do you leverage EFD most efficiently?

28. HDD HDD HDD Lower Cost + User Experience View: 10x better View: 4x better 4.5Xbetter Benefit at scale FAST Cache +FAST Tiering With FAST Cache Without FAST Appserver Appserver Appserver 9 of 10 I/Os from FLASH 9 of 10 I/Os from Cache 1 of 5 I/Os from Cache Controller Controller Controller DRAM Cache DRAM Cache DRAM Cache FLASH FLASH 1 of 10 I/Os from disk 1 of 10 I/Os from disk 4 of 5 I/Os from disk FLASH View 4.5 + FAST = Lower Cost + Better Experience

30. Peak Host Response time decreased from 382 ms to 11.86 ms

31. Disk utilization never above 10% - FAST Cache effectively handles 100% of I/O once warmed

33. Peak Guest Disk Response time decreased from 113ms to 43ms

36. Complete Security Solution for VMware View RSA enVision for security monitoring and reporting RSA DLP for protection of data Ionix SCM for security config and patch management VMware Infrastructure RSA SecurID for remote authentication Active Directory RSA SecurID for ESX Service Console and vMA OfflineLaptop VMwarevCenter VMwareView Manager RSA enVision Log Collector For VMware vCenter Clients

37. Integrated Management Integrated Security End-to-End Information Infrastructure for Vmware View DeDup w/ Compression Five 9’s Availability Automated Storage Tiering Virtual Provisioning Integrated Backup Avamar

38. Putting our money where our mouth is… VMware View 4.5 + EMC FAST Suite + Joint V/E and VCE Reference Architectures + Consulting Services as low as $38/user = = Zero Risk
