  2. Managing Desktops Today Information and data is our most important asset. Security is a priority and we need to ensure that this data and IP is safeguarded How do I maintain or improve desktop management when I’m required to do more with less? Less budget, less power consumption, less resources.. I need to support a growing # diverse applications that don’t always run well in a terminal services environment I need to provide users with the best possible experience on LAN, off LAN, on multiple devices.

  5. Who are the players?

  6. Simplify Desktop Image Management Image Updates • Manage thousands of desktops • Streamline desktop management • Quick provisioning • Simplify update, patch, and upgrade activities while retaining user settings • Guarantee updates are applied to every desktop

  7. Getting Started • What do I need to get started in desktop virtualization? • A server with plenty of RAM, CPU, and disk to run: • ESX/ESXi • vCenter as a VM • Your master image desktop OS as a VM • X number of clones as VMs • The broker (View or XenDesktop)as a VM • A solid network • A thin client

  8. Step 1 : Determine which users • Choose easy targets, ideally: • Smaller number of applications • Easy-going and will provide honest feedback • No special device support

  9. Step 2 : Choose a platform • Citrix XenDesktop? • Pro’s : Very flexible, great user experience, excellent level of IT and user acceptance, any device • Con’s : Can be pricey, history of being complicated • VMware View? • Pro’s : Easy to setup and manage, wide user community, Composer saves SAN cost • Con’s : PCoIP isn’t great on the WAN, pricey, and some consider it still in infancy • Wyse WSM? • Pro’s : Easy to setup, low TCO, no SAN required • Con’s : 100% of happy customers say there are none 

  10. Step 3 : Create a base image Image Cloning Step 4 : Create clones in a desktop pool • Select base image and configure the number of clones that you want to create Build a base Windows 7 or Windows XP image Recommended for first run that you bundle your applications into the image

  11. Machine Type Definitions • Pooled • Direct copies of the master VM, no customization • Dedicated • Permanently assigned to individual users, with customization • Physical • Desktops hosted on dedicated blade servers; no centralized power control • Streamed • vDiskimaged from a master target device with Provisioning Services

  12. Step 5 : Assign users

  13. Step 6 : Connect! Demo of Citrix connection

  14. Tips for a successful Proof of Concept Plenty of storage speed/IOPs on your SAN Fast network – 1Gb where possible Choose the right endpoint (thin client) Don’t overcomplicate the architecture - KISS

  15. Wyse Range of Products • Z Class • 1.6Ghz dual-core processor • 4 USB 2.0 • 2 USB 3.0 • Can mount on monitor, desk, wall • R Class • 6 USB • 2 Serial • 2 DVI • Can mount on monitor, desk, wall • C Class • 4 USB • 1 DVI (dual with DVI/VGA splitter) • Can mount on monitor, desk, wall • V Class • 3 USB • 1 Serial • 1 DVI • Can mount on monitor, desk, wall • X Class • 12” and 14” form factors • Wyse Pocket Cloud • Available on Android, iOS • Wyse PC Extender • Repurpose PC solution with integrated ICA and PCoIP support 15
