What about hackers?

Microsoft recently posted that of the 45 critical XP patches released in the last year 30 were applicable to Windows 7 too.

Windows XP Migration - Three Questions

How can we complete our Windows 7 Migration on time and on budget with the resources we have?1

How can I migrate my users who work from home, the road, or a remote office, without installing additional branch infrastructure?

3

How can we easily rollback a user to their Windows XP system if the Windows 7 Migration does not complete successfully?

Horizon Mirage™ provides layered image management

Logically layers each end user’s PC

Layers managed separately but are merged together at the endpoint

Does not actually shift contentsaround on PC

Empowers IT to perform granular operations some or all PC layers

User-Installed apps are preservedfor use during migrations ordesktop recovery

Automated Windows 7 Migration

How Mirage HelpsThe Solution

1. Automates staging of Windows 7 image on each PC

2. It minimizes end-user downtime compared to competition

3. Migrates XP / Vista to Win 7

4. Transfers user profile and data from old OS to New Win 7

install

Careful planning is essential. Windows 7 migrations are a difficult and time-consuming project for any tool. Understand critical parts Mirage supports and what is out of scope,

such as Application Remediation.

The Challenge. Microsoft announced end of support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014.

Windows XP ‘Insurance’

How Mirage HelpsThe Solution

1. Continuous back-up of Windows XP image

2. Ability to ‘roll-back’ to clean Windows XP image

3. Ongoing Snapshots of XP image

4. Store Data/Profiles ready for Windows 7 migration

Careful planning is essential. Use of Horizon Mirage for ‘managing’ Windows XP will not protect your devices/image from any attacks.

The Challenge. End of XP Support – Prohibitive Support contract & diminishing time…

Horizon Mirage™ Multiple Use Case Scenarios

Who Has Done This Already?

Migrate 2,400 desktops to new laptops while preserving user data and 1,110 various user-installed applications.

NeedsHorizon Mirage allowed ADAC’s IT

team to quickly get their end-users up and running on their new laptops

without sacrificing any of their user data or user-installed applications.

VMware Solution• Saved 250,000 Euro using Horizon

Mirage over other solutions.

• Completed entire migration in just three weeks, drastically reducing the time of the project.

• Had full rollback capabilities if needed during migrations.

Benefits

“With VMware Horizon Mirage we had exactly the same IT environment on the PC, but were able to migrate over everything that made that desktop

personal to our users... IT was able to separate the IT images on the desktop PCs from the user space —

applications, files and personalization. ”

Stefan Brandstetter, IT Manager, ADAC e.V.
