Distributed workforce

Mobile & remote workers

Outsourcing & off-shoring

Contract Workers

Limited control of PCs

Patch compliance

Typical Corporate Desktops

In most environments,

the components arelinked together in

ways that are difficult

to support and

maintain.


5/43

Problems Can Start At Any Layer

A problem at one layer

often causes a chainreaction that can

destroy the whole

stack.


6/43

Local Failures Can Mean Data Loss

This makes recovery

difficult and threatens

any locally stored user

data and settings.

Most organizationsjust replace or re-

image the whole PC.


7/43

There has to be a better way

Could a Virtual Desktop be the answer?


8/43

VDI Enables Hardware Independence

Desktop OS

Virtualization breaksthe link

between the

Operating System

and any specifichardware.


9/43

Virtual Desktops Leverage File Servers Effectively

VDI proximity to the

data center also

enables dataisolation through file

shares and profile

management.


10/43

File Shares and User Profiles

This allows users to

access any VM and

always get their data

and their profile.


11/43

Virtual Machines with Everything

We could install all

of the applications

that everyone needs

in all of themachines.


12/43

And the more

applications you

install, the less

stable things tend toget.

vClone Direct Storage Cost Savings

Dramatically (90%+) reduce the amount of storage consumed

Increase overall performance due to better storage controller / cache

utilization.

How ThinApp Works:

VMware ThinApp links the application, Virtual Operating System (VOS),

file system and registry into a single EXE/MSI file

Application Encapsulation & Isolation

Intercepts file and system calls

Process Loading- start exe from VOS,

Launch from host OS (Virtual/Physical).

DLL Loading. loads DLL dependencies the

EXE/DLL/OCX files from archive

Thread & Process Management. VOStracks all processes and threads inside

virtual registry (COM & Utility)

Simplify Desktop Delivery & Costs with VDI & ThinApp

Reduce Storage

Reuse templates Install VM without apps

Simplify Software Delivery (noagents/infrastructure)

Multiple versions of same app installed on

VDI image Many ways to deliver shortcut

Plugs into existing App Mgmt tools w/oinfrastructure

Streamline Patch Updates

Modify 1 app for whole environment In place upgrades

Virtual Printing

Driver Free Printing: No Installation

and Maintenance of printer drivers onVirtual Desktops

All necessary printers automatically

available

Minimize network utilization up to

98% with advanced print stream

compression

High quality printing even over WAN

connections

Use of client printer driver rather thancomplicated server installations View Client

Offline Desktop

Offline VDI

End-users can check-in and check-out

their virtual desktops

Administrators can extend security

policies to the local computerNear approximate of the full local

experience

Lets bring it all together


22/43

Dont Make Big Virtual Machines

So instead of

installing everything

into huge

cumbersome VMs.

Deliver Apps and Data on Demand

And deliver

applications ondemand from a file

server.


25/43

Deliver Apps and Data on Demand

Based on what the

user actually needsor has permission to

use.


26/43

A Single Location for Applications

Creating a software repository.


27/43

No Distribution Needed

Eliminating the need for software

distribution.


28/43

User SpaceSystem

And we store the sandbox in the profilewhere it can follow the user.

Thinapp Blocks System Changes

Deploying Updates

User data disks are connected to the new master at next

login or user prompt.
