The Future of the Desktop

Four Potential Models for the Desktop

• Device Centric

• Desktop Centric

• Web Centric• App/Data

Centric

User

Desktop

Virtual Mobile

15©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

VDI in the Cloud

• Concept• Cloud hosted virtual desktops mapped to a specific user

• Benefits1. Least amount of disruption for end users who are familiar with

Windows2. Maintain the integrity and sandbox of the operating

environment

• Challenges1. WAN latency and packet loss > User experience2. Connections to enterprise resources3. Desktop licensing

16©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

Virtual Apps in the Cloud

• Concept• Access to virtualized applications and data from the cloud

• Benefits1. Allows for BYOC models2. Friendly licensing models

• Challenges1. Same as VDI + …2. Lose the app + data collaboration of the OS3. Lose the app to app collaboration of the OS

17©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

Device Centric Desktops

• Concept• Locked down mobile OS environment with carefully vetted apps

that are built for ease and simplicity

• Benefits1. Simplicity is paramount to acceptance and proliferation2. Very consumer friendly

• Challenges1. Hardware and device differences makes application

development difficult2. No consistency of interfaces3. Iterative and incremental adoption is a challenge

18©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

Web Centric Desktops

• Concept• Web based profiles that live on the cloud assemble web based

applications and data into a single “always available” desktop

• Benefits1. Consistent desktop environment2. Separation of personal and business environments

• Challenges1. Web app capabilities are not sufficient for some software2. Web based remoting protocols3. Windows and Enterprise Applications
