Desktop Virtualization

wyse.com

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 provide users with the best possible experience on LAN, off LAN, on

multiple devices.

I need to support a growing # diverse

applications that don’t always run well in a terminal services

environment

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

Step 1 : Determine which users

• Choose easy targets, ideally:– Smaller number of applications– Easy-going and will provide honest feedback– No special device support

8

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

Step 3 : Create a base image

• Build a base Windows 7 or Windows XP image

• Recommended for first run that you bundle your applications into the image

10

Step 4 : Create clones in a desktop pool• Select base image and configure the

number of clones that you want to create

Image Cloning

wyse.com

• 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– vDisk imaged from a master target device with

Provisioning Services

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
