What We’ve Heard From Customers…


Performance

& End User

Experience




• VDI Infrastructure scalability and high-availability due to login/boot up storms

• Different end user experience when accessing from LAN, WAN, Wired/Wireless,

Internal/External, Mobile, etc.

• Poor end user experience delivering Voice, Video, and Collaboration tools via

today’s VDI solution

• Lack of end user devices/peripherals support such as webcam, USB devices, etc


Performance

& End User

Experience





• Time required to deploy and/or scale VDI infrastructure

• Time to recover from a failed server host

• Time and effort required to manage Server Hardware BIOS settings, Firmware,

Storage Access settings, etc.

• Large number of tools required to manage server hardware monitoring,

provisioning, configuration management, capacity planning, remote support,

virtualization management, and automation


Performance

& End User

Experience





• Large storage requirements due to centralization of OS, Apps, and Data

• Low VM density (i.e. low number of VDI per server)

• Large amount of infrastructure (e.g. servers, LAN/SAN switches, etc.) required for

today’s VDI solution

• Large amount of additional data center power required for today’s VDI solution


Performance

& End User

Experience





• Lack of tested and validated multi-vendor solution

• Lack of best practices from a multi-vendor solution perspective for Desktop

Virtualization

• Disjointed support model for multi-vendor solution
