  7. What is TCO? • TCO is… • TCO stands for Total Cost of Ownership • TCO can be broken down into 3 key areas • Total Cost of Application Ownership • Total Cost of Hardware Ownership • Total Cost of Infrastructure Ownership • The Standard Definition of TCO is the Total Cost per year that an organization will pay to maintain, support, upgrade, manage, and secure their network and computing infrastructure in order to meet the needs of Suppliers, Partners, Employees, and Customers. • TCO is the most important variable for companies seeking to remain competitive, while at the same time keep on-going technology costs low and realize the fastest possible Return On Investment.

  8. The Elements of TCO • The Cost Elements of TCO are… • Users – Number and Location • Hardware – Desktops and Servers • Application and Operating Systems Support – Upgrade, Support, Training, Maintenance, ROI, Productivity • Network – Connectivity, Accessibility, Management, Availability, Throughput • Training – User and Support • Migration Time and Cost (related to ROI) • Loss of Productivity – Downtime, Maintenance, Accessibility

  9. The Virtual Workplace Affecting Cost of Ownership

  10. What is the Virtual Workplace? • The Virtual Workplace is… • Having access to all of the information you want and need in order to do your job • Getting that information to come to you, rather than having to go out and find it • Having access to any applications and tools necessary to manipulate that information • Having secure access to corporate resources from any computer, anywhere, regardless of your bandwidth, hardware, network connection, or operating system

  11. Citrix End to End Virtual Workplace Information Sources (Information Silo’s) DB Sources Files & Docs Internet Sources MetaFrame Server Farm (Application Silo’s) Access – Ubiquitous Client Support Efficient Bandwidth – Citrix ICA Security – Citrix Security Products Unified Access – Citrix Portal Technologies Aggregate Applications… … and Information

  12. Why adopt the Virtual Workplace?

  13. Citrix Virtual Workplace Lowering TCO with one end-to-end solution

  14. The Elements of TCO • The Cost Elements of TCO are… • Users – Number and Location • Hardware – Desktops and Servers • Application and Operating Systems Support – Upgrade, Support, Training, Maintenance, ROI, Productivity • Network – Connectivity, Accessibility, Management, Availability, Throughput • Training – User and Support • Migration Time and Cost (related to ROI) • Loss of Productivity – Downtime, Maintenance, Accessibility

  15. The Application Computing Environment • User Elements Characterized by… • Hardware – Type of computers users need to do job • Software – Number of users affected total cost of installation, migration, upgrade, maintenance, etc. • Network – Types and Frequency of application usage • Location – Remote effects user productivity (VPN, modem access is low bandwidth) Hardware Used • High Impact Cost Variable • Very Predictable effect on overall cost • Upgrade, Maintenance, and Support costs are factor • Effects downtime and productivity

  16. The Application Computing Environment • End-User Applications • Must be purchased, deployed, and managed on ongoing basis • Number, Type, and Common Usage of Apps is critical • Enterprise Resource Applications (ERP) • Productivity Applications Network and Infrastructure Management • Operating Systems Management and Deployment • Citrix MetaFrame XP, Microsoft Windows 2000 Server • Network Management and Administration • HP Openview, IBM Tivoli

  17. The Application Computing Environment • Bandwidth and Connectivity • Traditional access methods require Low Latency, High Bandwidth to support more users • Remote users may see a loss of productivity if using the public infrastructure Training • Training user population on new application usage can be very time consuming • Creates a loss of productivity until all users are trained in new application usage • Number of users that can be trained at one time is limited to space and instructor availability • Typically, training is performed long before applications are deployed. Users tend to lose much of the value of training over time.

  18. The Application Computing Environment • Migration and ROI • Migrating to a new platform or new applications for users requires extensive training and support • Migration may also require and upgrade in infrastructure components • Migration can take so long that by time it is complete, a new platform version has already been created. • Return on Investment of Migrating to a new platform is usually never achieved Loss of Productivity • Many factors make effect of productivity loss difficult to calculate • Downtime is one factor that effects Productivity • Complex effect on infrastructure cost • Poor Customer Perception • Reduced Employee Morale • Includes cost of recovery and downtime salary
