10. Server Headaches: 7-9 users/CPU Core, 1-2 GB RAM 9. Storage Headaches: IOPS, cost of storage

8. Network headaches: need upgrades, Latency 7. Application performance: Multi media experience 6. Licensing headaches – Microsoft VDA/SA

5. Offline use: 40% of users buying a PC notebook 4. Internal Politics: from desktop team to datacenter 3. Not necessarily easy to manage: stateful virtual desktops

2. Benefits are hard to quantify. Cost savings occur in hidden and indirect ways

1. The economics don't stack up

Virtual Bridges – VDI pioneers

Brian Madden speaks….

If you were to ask me if there are any companies with desktop virtualization products that you should look at, I'd throw out two suggestions right off the bat: Virtual Bridges’ VERDE and Quest

Software’s vWorkspace. Both are quality desktop virtualization products with several features that the big two don't have, and both products cost much less than those from the big two.”

Key Architectural Decisions

10) Backup and Recovery 11) Scale up/out

12) Server configuration, Memory Optimizer, VM Density

13) Storage: Attached, NAS, SAN; Accelerator 14) Performance

 Deployment model, Legacy Application colocation, Protocol, Storage, Server, Network

15) Remote Management

16) Integration: PC Configuration/Life Cycle Management

17) On-premises, Private Cloud, Managed Private Cloud – hosted dedicated

End point Device Network Mode: -Online - Offline - Branch Virtual Desktop - OS - Application - Security Server - Scale

- HA Storage

Two Integration Points:

§

Guest environment enhancements to

allow the TEM agent to load without

registering a new desktop in the BF

console each time a dynamic instance

boots

§

Write values into the system registry that

fixlets can query in their "relevance" stage

to determine if the guest is dynamic,

static, gold, running on LEAF, etc.

TEM has built functionality in their

console to be able to analyze and report

this basic information on all VDSB VM's,

so everything can be manage (physical,

virtual, dynamic/virtual) from one

console

(10)

TAM E-SSO provides:



SSO inside the virtual desktop



Two-Factor Authentication



Access and Security Workflow

Automation



Fast user switching



User Access Tracking & Audit



Centralized Identity & Policy

Management



With no change to the

infrastructure

With Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On

TAM E-SSO enables

visibility

into user activity,

control

over

access to business assets, and

automation

of the sign-on

process in order to drive value for our clients.

Why IBM Virtual Desktop for Smart Business with VERDE?

Traditional VDI (Gen 1)

Easier

More

productive

More

affordable

IBM Virtual Desktop for Smart Business with VERDE



Comprehensive functionality,

easier to manage and use



Install in 3 hours vs 7 days



Simple and Open Architecture



Work anytime, anywhere,

online/offline/branch, on secure

Windows/Linux virtual desktops



Lower TCO



IGF Lease option

 Manual installation, integration, customization

 Complex and closed architecture  Require high level of expertise  Users confined to online VDI  Dependent on Microsoft

 High CAPEX (Server, Storage), OPEX

(12)



Dramatically lower TCO: desktop management, hardware,

software
