The Challenges Associated with Deploying

VDI

Storage Acquisition Costs

VDI Requires Enterprise Class Storage

Data Protection

High Availability

Backup

VDI Provides Central Desktop Updates Requires Additional Storage

Lengthy Mass Deployment Timeframes

Cloning 100s 1,000s of Virtual Machines

Takes Time

6-12 Minutes Per Virtual Desktop or 5-10 Virtual Desktops

deployed per Hour

The Advantages of Deploying VMwares VDI

With NetApp Storage Virtualization

Single storage architectureserves all data protocols

Simplified Management

FlexClone provisions newDatastores which areimmediately available and online

Admin Time Reductions

A-SIS and FlexClone storagesavings of 90%

RAID-DP reduces data protectioncosts by 50%

Acquisition Cost Reductions

RAID-DP provides RAID10 dataprotection

SnapMirror allows de-duplicateddata to be backed up withoutlosing the de-duplication

Unmatched Data Availability

NetApp RAID-DP Data Protection

A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Must be Available

Current Disk Drives have more

physical imperfections/errors and

are less reliable Time to rebuild increase with disk size

RAID5 does not provide enough

Data Protection

RAID10 doubles the cost of

Data Protection

RAID-DP provides the unmatched data protection and

cost efficiencies required by VDI

RAID-DP

RAID10

Protects against double disk failure

40% lower cost than RAID10!

Storage Virtualization makes a difference

Available IOPs (work I can do)

Capacity

Aggregate:Efficient resource utilization

Capacity and IOPs are pooled

Volumes: not tied to physical storageNon-fixed storage allocation allows

continuous rebalancing across spindles.

Better Capacity Management

No stranded spindles / capacity

RAID Optimization

Sharper Data Focus

Deduplication

Thin Provisioning

Policy Based Space Management

Quality of Service

We decided to utilize NetApp SnapMirror for replication and deduplication, and these became adriving factor in our solution achieving 80% storage savings on VMware backup data with

deduplication.

Backing Up a Virtual Desktop Infrastrucutre

A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Must be Backed Up

An interruption to storage would take 100s to 1000s of users

offline

NetApp storage delivers: Architectural Flexibility

Unified Storage (FCP, ISCSI, NFS) Tiered Storage (FC, ATA, SAS) Multi-vendor virtualization (V-Series)

Optimized Capacity Virtual Partitioning of storage resources

Advanced RAID Thin Provisioning Data De-duplication

Optimized Performance Virtual Partitioning of storage resources Dynamic Storage Resource management

Optimized Provisioning Rapid provisioning of storage pools

Policy based space management Superior backup and restore capabilities

Space efficient backups of virtual machine files and data Rapid recovery of virtual machine files and data

Flexible Data Replication Architecture / transport independent Replication and site failover at multiple levels of granularity
