  4. Why the Switch to Cloud? For a variety of reasons, cloud technologies are too compelling to ignore. • “Utility” billing (pay as you use) • “Unlimited” processing and storage • Elasticity to scale up or down • On demand, self-service • Highly automated • Dynamically scalable, virtualized resources provided as a service AccessibilitySpeed Cost • Maximize revenue • Reduce cost • Expedite time to market • Focus resources • Do more projects

  9. Traditional VDI Reality • … but major BARRIERS exist • Start upHuge up-front costs • Many moving partsComplex to design & build • Operationally IntensiveDifficult to maintain • Is it strategicDo you want to be building and managing data centers ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  10. Cloud-Based Desktops (DaaS) • Business Benefits Desktop Cloud • Ease to manage • Device independence • Lower TCO • Low cash out = low risk • Customer Satisfaction From Any Device From Any Location PARTNERS & SUPPLIERS FIXED TELEWORKERS TEMPORARY OFFICES BRANCH OFFICES ©2011 Desktone, Inc.

  11. DaaS Requirements • Scalability • Flexibility • Multi-tenancy • Strict role separation • Technology agnostic • Security ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  12. Comparing Desktop Models DaaS PC VDI

  13. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

  14. DISCLAIMER • TCO analysis is more contentious than politics so please understand this is one TCO framework (there are many!). The numbers can be debated but feel free to insert your own numbers into the framework • The numbers listed are based on list prices, industry averages, published analyst numbers and customer feedback • This analysis was done with REAL customers • All of the numbers behind the analysis are not in the presentations but can be found in our TCO whitepaper ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  15. TCO Framework Overview • Solutions for Comparison • PC’s – Standard Desktops • Onsite Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) • DaaS: Cloud-hosted desktops as a service • Cost Categories • Endpoint Costs • Data Center Hardware • Management Server Overhead • Software • IT Labor Costs ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  16. Typical Oversights • Labor/Time • When comparing to physical PC’s most compare just the annual cost of the physical desktop • Management Infrastructure required for VDI ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  17. Key Findings – Standard Windows 7 Desktop • Virtual desktops deliver savings upwards of 36% over desktop PC costs • Cloud desktops deliver further savings of 20+% over on-premises VDI • On-premises VDI delivers savings on labor but it is offset by the significant extra infrastructure required • The performance requirements for VDI necessitate adoption of external storage which adds substantial costs ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  18. Endpoint Costs • Defined • Device used to access a desktop • Standard PC is a single choice but VDI and cloud-hosted offer flexibility • Categories • PC • Employee Owned • Repurposed PC • Thin Client ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  19. Data Center Hardware • Definition: up front data center costs needed to run VDI • Categories • Servers needed to run virtual machines. • Storage (SAN/NAS) • Mgmt Server Overhead ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  20. Software • Definition: software costs account for a large percentage of any desktop solution • Categories • VDI Software • VDI Support/Maintenance • Microsoft SA/VDA ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  21. IT Labor Costs • Definition: IT labor costs are very high in the traditional physical PC world. Virtual & cloud desktops deliver significant savings • Categories • Helpdesk • Desktop Maintenance • Training • IT Labor (Image creation, etc.) • Downtime • Network Engineering ©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.

  22. Summary • Cloud computing is changing the world of IT • The current Desktop management market is ripe for change • VDI was supposed to solve the problems – but has introduced new issues • Cloud-hosted desktops are an emerging cost effective alternative • Understanding the values and challenges of each desktop delivery model is essential in preparing for tomorrow ©2011 Desktone, Inc.
