vdi deployment

Interested in flash, but not sure how it will work with your existing workloads like VDI? Watch Part III of our "Mainstreaming of Flash" video series to learn more! HPE 3PAR StoreServ was built to meet the extreme requirements of massively consolidated cloud service providers. Its remarkable speed—3M+ IOPS—and proven system architecture has been extended to transform mainstream midrange and enterprise deployments, with solutions from a few TBs up to 15PB scale.

How to effectively troubleshoot your VDI deployment Virtual desktop infrastructure has come a long way since the first steps were taken a decade ago to run desktop workloads in the data center. While more pervasive today, VDI technologies are latency-sensitive, and wholly dependent on the network. Complaints of poor end-user experience persist, especially over the WAN at branch offices where bandwidth constraints and latency delays are common. But there is a way to ensure consistent and reliable VDI performance to deliver: Reduced downtime Faster troubleshooting Improved SLAs Enhanced planning and control Read this brief to learn how the Riverbed® Cascade® application-aware network performance management (NPM) solution unlocks VDI visibility.

Check out this brief white paper to make sure your VDI deployment isn't derailed by inadequate storage.

This whitepaper provides an overview of Aternity Virtual Desktop Monitoring and how it monitors end user experience in a VDI environment. Aternity goes well beyond traditional Virtual Desktop Infrastructure assessment tools that are primarily focused on planning and testing virtual deployments. Aternity provides in-depth monitoring of end user experience in a production environment spanning tens of thousands of business users.

When evaluating and migrating to Windows 10, it is critical to understand the use cases and benefits of various deployment choices. Should you: • Refresh or upgrade your existing deployments? • Migrate your physical endpoints to VDI? • Extend published remote apps to your Windows endpoints? We look at these use cases and introduce SysTrack - a tool that provides recommendations on an optimal Windows 10 deployment approach your organizations should take.

VMware Horizon View is an enterprise-class desktop virtualization solution that delivers virtualized or remote desktops and applications to end users through a single platform. Horizon View is a tightly integrated, end-to-end solution built on the industry-leading virtualization platform, VMware vSphere. Although Horizon View enables levels of availability and agility of desktop services unmatched by traditional PCs, the complexity of deploying and managing thousands of virtual desktops in a VMware environment can be daunting without the right tools. Storage is often the leading cause of end-user performance problems. The NetApp all-flash FAS solution with the FAS8000 platform solves the performance problems commonly found in VDI deployments. In this reference architecture, NetApp tested VMware Horizon View user and administrator workloads to demonstrate how the NetApp all-flash FAS solution eliminates the most common barriers to virtual desktop adoption. The testing covered common

Hear from Assistant IT Director Mike Russell on how Shannon Medical is using Unidesk and Pure Storage to successfully deploy VDI, deliver McKesson EMR, and give providers persistent, personal desktops to maximize patient outcomes.

VDI deployments offer tremendous advantages but can also impact server and network resources significantly.  A complete VDI solution should deliver a reliable, high-performing desktop user experience while taming complexity and supporting scalability within a secure, stable framework.

If you are considering storage solutions for your Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, review some of the key questions you should consider to ensure success of your VDI deployment.

Learn how to make your VDI deployment a success and keep the user experience on par with a local desktop.

For this white paper, IDC performed an in-depth analysis of the business value of VMware View, defined as the expected ROI associated with the use of the solution as a platform for the targeted deployment of a virtual desktop infrastructure.

Desktop management at any scale is a tedious job. Imaging, reimaging, and troubleshooting desktop systems consume valuable IT resources, and keep employees from being productive. Securing the information generated on desktops, tablets, and smartphones is no simple job either. Many organizations are deploying virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) for these reasons. But for deployment to be successful, computing and storage infrastructures must deliver high-quality, predictable, and productive user experiences. Often, the best way to accomplish this is through flash-based storage solutions due to its low latency/high IOPS nature. Unfortunately many IT professionals aren't sure what type of flash array is best for their needs or how to ensure that all elements of their VDI work seamlessly. Download now and learn how to validate a provide VDI configuration across NexGen N5 Hybrid Flash Array, VMWare Horizon View, Cisco Unified Computing System™(UCS), and Cisco Nexus Switches.

How do you know what the right storage set up is for you? How do you ensure that you're using best practices when implementing? As IT virtualization continues to become more and more prevalent, the storage component of the virtualization architecture continues to play a critical role in performance and availability. Additionally, the ability to benchmark and predict storage performance in a virtualized environment is essential to an efficient and well-run VDI setup. Download now and learn how to select and size the best storage array for your VMWare deployment to maximize your VM density and increase ROI.

This paper explores some of the common challenges facing VDI planning, deployment and operations, and VMTurbo’s unique approach for addressing them.

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) offers organizations the means to centrally manage and deliver desktops as a service to reduce costs, increase data security, and streamline desktop management while enabling anytime, anywhere access across a wide variety of devices. IT consumerization trends such as BYOD (bring your own device) and device diversity are accelerating VDI adoption, which is expected to double over the next year.

As organizations seek to continue leveraging the advantages of virtualization technologies, many are embracing virtualization of end user desktops via approaches such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). But while VDI solutions promise significant security and operational efficiency improvements, they also bring with them unique deployment challenges.
