Why appliances For Horizon View?
The Case for VDI Appliances PEX Presentation 2/2013
• Before the toaster, how did we make toast?
• Before the clothes washer and dryer, how did we wash and dry clothes?
• Before the oven or stove, how did we cook?
Before VDI appliances, how did we deliver virtual desktops?

x Many moving parts to integrate, test and support
x Complex shared storage problem
x Using existing shared storage is usually a mistake
x Must perform
x Must be “Always ON”
x Expensive to deploy and scale
x Expensive to maintain

x Centralizing desktop data creates a large random I/O workload profile, which is the most challenging profile to deliver on storage arrays
x Requires tuning the SAN for the available CPU, RAM with available storage IOPs, capacity and network bandwidth
x Achieving an optimal balance for a given # of desktops
x Do over as you add more desktops??
x IOPS requirements peak during the boot and login phases, when servers load desktops over the SAN
x As storage is centralized, the potential impact of storage-related problems is significantly increased
Infrastructure ChallengesDIY SAN for VDI is Hard and Complex

Simplified Infrastructure Deployment“Pivot3’s P Cubed is The Easiest, Fastest, Simplest Horizon View Deployment I’ve Ever Done.” - VMware EUC Desktop Specialist
Excellent End User Experience“Users who tested them [virtual desktops] were astonished at the speed of launching applications versus their normal desktop PC. The Club’s designer commented that Adobe Suite applications launched as quickly (if a little faster) on the zero client than they do on her Mac Pro desktop and there were no issues with lag when working on posters in InDesign or working in other applications – which surprised her greatly as she is a Mac advocate and there is “no way a PC can run them as fast as my Mac”. - IT Manager The Hurlingham Club, London UK
Powerful and Dynamic Scalability/Availability“ESG Lab was able to execute a rapid implementation of a 300 desktop VDI environment with excellent client performance, and then upgrade the environment to 800 desktops, hot and online, with no disruption to running clients.” - ESG Lab Test Report

= Pc < Ps• VDI deployments occur when the Pain to
change (Pc) is less than the Pain to stay (Ps) the same.
• Pivot3 P Cubed “Horizon Suite-in-a-box” appliances make VDI deployments occur, because they eliminate deployment and performance risks while making VDI affordable
