The Optimised Desktop
• What is the Optimised Desktop?• Does one size fit all?
• Some vendors would lead you to think so…• What technologies are available?• How do you map technologies to users?• How do we license the different scenarios?

The Optimised Desktop
• Introducing, the Windows Optimized Desktop Scenarios• IPD Guide
• Part 1 – Whitepaper• Part 2 – Decision Tool (Excel)
• Relates business/user requirements to complimentary technologies
• Defines 5 standard user scenarios• Available from http://microsoft.com/ipd

What is VDI?
• Client OS runs in the datacenter, virtualised on server-based hardware.
• User/Device connects via a broker using a connection protocol.
• Physical device could be a laptop, desktop, or thin client.
Ask a question via #uktechdays or text Microsoft to 60300
Why VDI?
• Fairly new concept• Provides a true Desktop OS
which users connect to remotely
• Allows Power Users• Promotes Flexible Working• ROI typically not as strong as
Session-based delivery

Virtual Desktop Deployment Choices
• Personal/Persistent vDesktop• Same image every day• Admin access, Customisations• User State inclusive
• Pooled/Non-Persistent vDesktop• Shared OS images, identically
configured• No administrator access• User state temporary

VDI Storage Considerations
SAN
• RDS provides Differencing Disks to reduce storage usage
• Preferred option to utilise storage vendor technologies i.e. DeDuplication
• XenDesktop includes Provisioning Server

Hyper-V R2: Best Choice for VDI
• Live Migration & Failover built in, for free.• Improved Memory Management
• Dynamic Memory in SP1• TCP Offload, Jumbo Frames, VMq Support• Increased Scalability
• 64 Cores & 1TB RAM = 384 VMs per host (Can != Should )
• Green IT with Core Parking• Windows 7 is natively enlightened & optimised• SCVMM 2008 R2 provides further value-add
• Intelligent Placement, Rapid Provisioning, PowerShell…

Optimising the vDesktop
• Introducing separation can itself be an optimisation
• The environment today is very tightly coupled• Makes changes difficult
• Virtualisation could be used at multiple layers
• Fundamental in Pooled vDesktop approach

free as an SA benefit
• Each VDA licensed device is covered to access up to 4 vDesktops at once, running in the datacenter.
• VDA now includes roaming use rights for the primary named user accessing vDesktop from secondary devices i.e. home, kiosks etc.
• Essential for all VDI deployments

Hosts• Includes HVS 2008 R2
• Required on top of VDA
• Premium Suite also available, including unrestricted RDS-CAL & App-V for RDS

RDS Futures…2008 R2 SP1
• Dynamic Memory• Better utilisation of memory and thus, greater VM density
• RemoteFX• Users will be able to work remotely in a Windows Aero
desktop environment, watch full-motion video, enjoy Silverlight & Flash animations, and run 3D applications within a Hyper-V VM – all with the fidelity of a local-like performance
• That’s great, but just what is RemoteFX?
Ask a question via #uktechdays or text Microsoft to 60300
RemoteFX• Not a replacement for RDP!
• Enhancement to the graphical capabilities of RDP 7.1• vGPU (WDDM)
• Content & GPU independent intercept & rendering.Single GPU for multiple Hyper-V Guests
• Host Side Rendering• Apps run at full-speed on host
• Intelligent Screen Capture & Hardware-Based Encode• Screen deltas sent to client based on network/client
availability• Bitmap Remoting & Hardware-Based Decode
• Full range of client devices – HW and SW manifestations by design
