VDWhy - Graphics for Virtual Desktops? Access from Anywhere - ‘Work isn’t a place’
High performance Workspace
Security and control - protect IP
Data is centralized - no sync of large datasets
Flexible - Support BYO and COPE scenarios
Disaster recovery – Multi-site and multi-datacenter
Reduce costs – centralized managed
Ergonomics – No heat and noise under the desk

Notes from the field
Performance isn’t only about GPU!
Understand networking impact
Benchmarking ≠ production environment
Double check hardware vendor support (HCL)
Amount of GPUs supported by vendor, need GPU extension kit? Is it available? PSU capable?
54
Notes from the field
Does the 3D graphics application vendor support the virtual desktop solutions. (zzZz)
Understand the limitations with thin clients amount of monitors, screen size, decoding capacity
Understand performance tuning ;-)
