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

Sharper Data Focus
Deduplication
Thin Provisioning
