Sun VDI 3 SoftwareInfrastructure 3 Software enables users to remotely access a high quality Windows, OpenSolaris or Linux desktop environment, running as virtual machines in the data center, from Sun Ray clients or existing PCs using only a RDP Client> Sun Virtual Desktop

2

Sun VDI 3 Software Key Features Enhanced Brokering functionality Simplified unified installer Browser-based administration console Flexible architecture Industrial-grade security

3

Sun VDI 3 Design Principles Better and consistent user to desktop management> MS Active Directory and LDAP

integration > Token integration

Scalability for larger deployments> Multiple Virtual Center > Faster deployment and desktop

access

Provide an alternative that differentiates> Integration of VirtualBox4

VDI 3 Highlights What's New Sun VDI 3 Cluster> Single install SRSS+SRWC +SVDC > Solaris 10 only > Kiosk only > SPARC/x64

Multiple VCs VirtualBox support> Linked Clones > Alternative

Desktops > Unmatched user experience

AD/LDAP integration Token Management

Sun ZFS> iSCSI + ZFS =

Sun VDI 3 > Extremely fast cloning

5

Supported Virtualization Platforms Sun xVM VirtualBox> 2.0.8 Specific version for Sun VDI 3

VirtualBox runs in stateless mode> All configuration stored in VDI Datastore

Managed through VirtualBox Web Service Interface SunVDA Service controls load balancing for both VirtualBox hosts and Storage Choice of RDP Servers: vRDP or MS RDP

6

Supported Virtualization Platforms Seamless integration with VMware Infrastructure 3> VMware ESX Server 3.5 or later > VMware VirtualCenter Server 2.5

Integrated with VirtualCenter Web Services> Agentless Install

Multiple VirtualCenter Support

VMware Virtual Center Desktop ProviderDifferences to VDI 2> Management

VMware Desktop Provider:> Connects to a

through WebService interface > VDI agent removed > vda-tools still required

single Virtual Center > Multiple Desktop Provider possible Also to a single Virtual Center

Sun VDI 3 Broker acts as Terminal Server> RDP redirection to desktops based on

credentials > No RDP tunneling

RDP load balancing possible

OpenStorage for xVM VirtualBoxStorage management through ZFS>Sun VDI manages

Storage access through iSCSI> VirtualBox has

VM disks >Each VM disk is a ZFS volume >Through snapshot and cloning immense storage savings Targeted systems >Instantaneous > x45.. cloning (Thumper) + OpenSolaris

in-build iSCSI interface > An iSCSI target (LUN) is treated as a VM disk
