VDI Test
- Deploy on a few dozen desktops
- Typically use free licenses (VMware, Citrix, …)
VDI Pilot
- A few hundred desktops
- Test technology feasibility
- Small workgroup rollout
VDI Production
- Thousands of desktops
- Decide between VDI, XenApp, others
- Expect to see benefits of VDI including ROI
VDI Acceleration
- 100,000 desktops
- Reap the benefits of VDI
- VDI is mission critical

The Broken VDI Deployment Cycle
Why VDI Rollouts Fail
- Much focus on early stages and on desktop layer
- Over-confidence in VDI performance
- Performance issues are re-mediated after the fact
- No visibility into infrastructure
- Fixing performance issues downstream is costly & it doesn’t scale

“Traditional management tools and desktop assessments fail to address today’s VDI
performance challenges: too complex, too slow,
too costly, too fragmented, too manual.”

VDI Performance Pain
50% of all desktop
virtualization projects
stall or fail for 2 reasons:
1) Unacceptable End User Performance
2) Cost Overruns
“Traditional management tools and desktop assessments are failing to
deliver VDI performance, user acceptance and scalability.”

Virtual Desktop Assessment vs. VDI Performance Assessment
Virtual Desktop Assessment VDI Performance Assessment
Typically, when you are about to start desktop virtualization (focus: pre-deployment planning) – often free
Throughout the life span of your virtual desktop deployment (focus: performance assurance and remediation, right-sizing)
Benchmark usage of physical desktops in the enterprise
Benchmark your virtual desktop infrastructure – every layer, every tier
Identify popular desktop applications, usage patterns , power on times
Baseline current usage patterns and trends of your infrastructure (focus beyond the desktop)
Identify which desktops can be virtualized, which cannot
Identify where your performance bottlenecks lie in the VDI infrastructure and how you can scale your rollouts, ensuring ROI
VDI Performance Assessments and Desktop Assessments solve different problems. They are complementary – not competing.

WHO are Ideal Candidates for a VDI Performance Assessment
You are moving from pilot to deployment and want to mitigate risk of VDI failure downstream (from test to best)
You are already in production and need to remediate existing VDI performance and/or scalability issues (users are complaining)
You are stuck in the gap between pilot an production and cant scale due to bottlenecks
You want to optimize user experience and maximize infrastructure utilization while keeping ROI high
