Why Virtual Desktops today?

• A storage hurricane is on the way in the shape of VDI
• What's driving VDI adoption?
– Desktops are aging – some are 4 to 5+ years old.
– Windows 7, Security & Desktop Disaster Recovery
are some of the key drivers in the move to VDI
architecture.
• Desktop Group Storage Group ??
• Storage infrastructure is typically the # 1 reason VDI
deployments have issues.

Typical Challenges to Contend With…
Distributed workforce
• Mobile & remote workers
• Outsourcing & off-shoring
• Contract Workers
Limited control of PCs
• Patch compliance
• Security
• Regulatory compliance
Focus on PC hardware
• Many makes & models
• Refresh cycles
Management complexity
• Deployment
• Support
• Security

VMware View - Addressing the
Challenges…
6© Copyright 2010 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
New Challenges Arise
• Must reduce TCO per user
• Current infrastructure designed for server workloads
• Large number of VMs to manage
• Aggressive and somewhat unpredictable performance profiles
• Small changes have a big impact (10 IOPS per desktop multiplies)
• Availability and performance requirements increase
~10 IOPS
10 GB
~1200 IOPS
1.2 TB99.999%
99%
EMC Addressing the Challenges…
• Store more Efficiently
• Dynamic, Flexible Infrastructure
• Protect the migrated user data
• Secure user access

What do customers
ask for when they
are deploying
VMware View?

Solving the big barriers….
Step 1 = Lowering the cost of storage
by… A LOT.
10© Copyright 2010 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
First – what about capacity?1000 users, 10GB per desktop = 10TB – right?
Wrong…
Operating System– View Composer = savings capacity requirements for OS
storage• 60:1 savings (non-persistent)
• 2:1 - 5:1 savings (persistent)
Applications– Thin App = 50:1 savings for app storage
• Assuming only 50% of apps can be virtualized
Storage– Dedupe/Compress + Archive = savings on user data
storage• 4:1 savings (being conservative)
11© Copyright 2010 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Is the problem solved?
10:1 capacity reduction means all 1000 users can
run on 1TB of storage – right?
Wrong…
1TB of storage fits on one spindle
How many hard drives are in 1000
desktops/laptops?
How do we solve THAT problem?
12© Copyright 2010 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
The Challenge• Architecting a View Environment to size for BOTH capacity and
performance at scale when leveraging Linked Clone or Snapshot Technology
The Analysis• 1000 x 10GB boot images = 1TB
– >80% capacity savings
• 8-10 iops per user ≈ 10,000 iops
The Result• at scale, data reduction technologies + EFD saves you $$$
How do you leverage EFD most efficiently?

Observations and Conclusions• Time to scan a desktops decreased from 67 to 15 minutes with FAST Cache
• Peak Host Response time decreased from 382 ms to 11.86 ms
• Disk utilization never above 10% - FAST Cache effectively handles 100% of I/O once warmed
•Estimated number of drives required to match FAST Cache performance: 83
