2. Agenda • Why do I need to migrate? • Windows 7 Adoption Lag • Introducing VMware Horizon Suite • Horizon Mirage & Use Cases • How to simplify & revolutionise Windows migration with VMware

3. XP in the Press…

4. So You Won’t be Migrating? cv cv What about hackers? Microsoft recently posted that of the 45 critical XP patches released in the last year 30 were applicable to Windows 7 too. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/16/microsoft_warns_itll_be_handing_out_zero_days_for_windows_xp/

5. How Long Have I Got?

6. XP Drivers available • XP Applications Available • Windows 7Released 2009 • Accounts for 40% Windows 7: Adoption Lag • Downgrade rights • Discovery and Usage • Packaging • ApplicationComplexity • Time and budget? • Skills in-house? • Migration is not trivial

7. Windows 7: Adoption Lag continued • End-UserBenefit • End-UserBenefit • IT Cost • vs • Infrastructure Investments • Complexity • Userproductivity • New interface • Business Continuity

8. Windows XP: Your Options Ignore Punitive Support Zero day exploitsSecurity and Compliance Prohibitively costlyBusiness justification Replace Hardware Is your hardware good enough?Do you have budget? In-place Migration Costly and ComplexRisk to business continuity

9. Windows XP Migration - Three Questions How can we complete our Windows 7 Migration on time and on budget with the resources we have? 1 How can we easily rollback a user to their Windows XP system if the Windows 7 Migration does not complete successfully? 2 How can I migrate my users who work from home, the road, or a remote office, without installing additional branch infrastructure? 3

12. Horizon Mirage™: Centralized PC Images for Local Execution TransformCentralize management of desktop image layers in the datacenter. BrokerManage/deploy PC images centrally from a single instance for easy provisioning, updates, backup and recovery. DeliverEmpower your workforce with locally installed desktops for native performance.

15. Your PC is made of a lot of different elements DeviceDrivers User installedApplications Background Wallpaper Data Custom settings Operating System IT provisionedApplications

16. These elements can be put into two categories Data User installedApplications Elements the End-Userwants to control Background Wallpaper Custom settings Elements IT wants to manage Operating System IT installed Applications DeviceDrivers

17. Horizon Mirage™ provides layered image management Horizon Mirage™ End-User Controlled User Data & Profile Applications Additional Applications OS and Core Apps Device Drivers IT Managed • Logically layers each end user’s PC • Layers managed separately but are merged together at the endpoint • Does not actually shift contentsaroundon PC • Empowers IT to perform granular operations some or all PC layers • User-Installed apps are preservedfor use during migrations ordesktop recovery

18. Automated Windows 7 Migration • The Challenge. Microsoft announced end of support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. The Solution How Mirage Helps • Automates staging of Windows 7 image on each PC • It minimizes end-user downtime compared to competition • Migrates XP / Vista to Win 7 • Transfers user profile and data from old OS to New Win 7 install Careful planning is essential. Windows 7 migrations are a difficult and time-consuming project for any tool. Understand critical parts Mirage supports and what is out of scope, such as Application Remediation.

19. Automated Windows 7 deployment Step 1: Intelligent image delivery New Windows 7 image:IT management layers Layers deliveredin background to Horizon Mirage™ client User operating Windows XP Horizon Mirage™ servers

20. Deployment preparation Step 2: Pre-deployment snapshot User’s still working New image fully delivered Pre-deployment snapshot Horizon Mirage™ servers

21. Actual deployment Step 3: Reboot and configuration Small amountof downtime Reboot Horizon Mirage™ servers Boots up asWindows 7

22. Windows XP ‘Insurance’ • The Challenge. End of XP Support – Prohibitive Support contract & diminishing time… The Solution How Mirage Helps • Continuous back-up of Windows XP image • Ability to ‘roll-back’ to clean Windows XP image • Ongoing Snapshots of XP image • Store Data/Profiles ready for Windows 7 migration Careful planning is essential. Use of Horizon Mirage for ‘managing’ Windows XP will not protect your devices/image from any attacks.

23. Horizon Mirage™ Multiple Use Case Scenarios IT manages a single image centrally Highly efficient de-duplication & synchronization (even over WAN) Business as usual for users

24. Who Has Done This Already? Needs VMware Solution Benefits Migrate 2,400 desktops to new laptops while preserving user data and 1,110 various user-installed applications. Horizon Mirage allowed ADAC’s IT team to quickly get their end-users up and running on their new laptops without sacrificing any of their user data or user-installed applications. • Saved 250,000 Euro using Horizon Mirage over other solutions. • Completed entire migration in just three weeks, drastically reducing the time of the project. • Had full rollback capabilities if needed during migrations. “With VMware Horizon Mirage we had exactly the same IT environment on the PC, but were able to migrate over everything that made that desktop personal to our users... IT was able to separate the IT images on the desktop PCs from the user space — applications, files and personalization. ” Stefan Brandstetter, IT Manager, ADAC e.V.
