  8. Microsoft’s VDI Offering …even better with partners • Application Delivery • Management • Partner Technology • Reduce Application management costs • Reduced Application costs • Desktop Delivery • Extends the scale and flexibility of the Microsoft platform • Unified Management forvirtual andphysical infrastructure • Integrated Security and compliance features • Extend management to non-Microsoft environments, such as VMware • Citrix enhances the Microsoft VDI offering • Enhanced User Experience to any device on any network • Improved Scalability • Better VM management • Deliver rich, local-like Windows 7 experience • Deliver Sessions and VMs • Virtualization Platform • Robust and Efficient hypervisor • Improved VM density

  9. Session Virtualization offers a VDI alternative Session Virtualization Single Server Desktop Shared via Multiple Sessions • Centralized Management Provides the same benefits as VDI • Enhanced Security & Compliance • Improved Business Continuity • Greater Flexibility OperatingSystem Supports the same scenarios as VDI • External contractors Single Server Desktop • Endpoints • Task Workers User sees desktop and applications as though it were running locally • Bring Your Own PC

  10. RemoteFX + HDX – Awesome User ExperienceVDI & Session • local-like Windows experience • Virtualizes Server GPU, delivers a virtual GPU to each VM • Highly responsive desktops including Aero, Multimedia and 3D graphics on LAN • USB Peripherals and printing • Bidirectional audio for VOIP Microphone Full Motion Video WebCam Web Meetings Keyboard Mouse Access from New Devices Monitor Smartcard Reader • any device, any network • WAN Optimization – rich experience over high latency networks • Access Windows desktops from more than 30 client OSs, including iOS and Mac Thumbdrive Printer

  11. The Advantages of Session Virtualization over VDI Session Virtualization Single Server Desktop Shared via Multiple Sessions • Sessions offer the following advantages over VDI: • Higher scale - more sessions per server than VMs • Lower cost - Session virtualization technology is cheaper to acquire and operate than VMs • Easier management –mature technology with familiar management tools • Microsoft + Citrix = Choice • Deploy Session based or VM based desktops using the same technology • Manage sessions and VM delivery from the same console • Deliver an excellent remote desktop experience for both Sessions and VDI. OperatingSystem Single Server Desktop

  12. The Advantages of VDI over Session Virtualization Virtual Desktop Infrastructure “VDI”Full Client Desktops Run as Virtual Machines (VMs) • Benefits beyond Session Virtualization: • User admin rights • Greater application compatibility • But at additional cost: • Compared to session virtualization, needs more storage and servers for the same number of users. • Management of client OS for each user OperatingSystem • Microsoft + Citrix offers you a choice: • Deploy Sessions or VMs using the same technology • Manage sessions and VM delivery from the same console • Deliver an excellent remote desktop experience for both Sessions and VDI. Individual Client VMs

  13. Today, your datacenters and network have certain capacity WAN Network

  14. VDI puts added strain on your datacenter and network In order to provide an experience similar to physical desktops, the datacenter may require significant upgrades. Servers and storage will be needed, and possibly power and cooling. Protocols need to be designed with WANs in mind WAN Network Network may need to be updated to handle display remotingand peripherals. Your VDI technology should provide best in class server density, VM management and network optimization

  15. Session vs VDI Session Virtualization scales more users per server than VDI Upsides for VDI: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Upsides for Session Virtualization: Remote Desktop Session Host Session Virtualization requires less hardware and software than VDI Sessions are cheaper than VDI desktops Server management is less than VDI Much better utilization of resources Allows MUCH heavier density • VDI offers better user operating system isolation • VDI has better native application compatibility • VDI allows users to be admins of their own images • Performance • Memory • Disk I/O • Processor • Cost • Software • Hardware • User Rights • Flexibility • AppCompat • Cost!!!! RDSH has up to 5x the scalability over VDI Remote Desktop Services enables both session virtualization and VDI!

  16. Hyper-V & Dynamic Memory Demo

  17. High praise from brianmadden.com: I do think that, looking at memory management from a VDI perspective, Hyper-V fits the bill just as well as ESX does, if not better. Is Hyper-V Dynamic Memory any good for VDI? Definitely! I love it. Making the most of Dynamic Memory can really be worth your while. In fact Microsoft has seen improvements of up to 40% (!) in density for VDI workloads. With VMware it's also easier to oversubscribe the physical memory of the host (note how I didn't use the word overcommit!) and I think that's a risk in most current VDI deployments. No matter how you slice it or dice it, when RAM is oversubscribed it introduces a higher probability of paging. This in return means a huge increase in IOPS. I guess it should go without saying that this is something you should avoid at all costs in VDI environments.

  18. Application Virtualization … VDI Application Virtualization in VDI • Benefits: • Lowers OS management costs • The OS becomes thinner and easier to deploy • Fewer images to maintain in the datacenter • Reduce SAN storage costs OperatingSystem
