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

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
16©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.
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
17©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.
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

Endpoint Costs
• Defined• Device used to access a desktop• Standard PC is a single choice but VDI and cloud-hosted offer
flexibility
• Categories1. PC2. Employee Owned3. Repurposed PC4. Thin Client

Data Center Hardware
• Definition: up front data center costs needed to run VDI• Categories
1. Servers needed to run virtual machines.2. Storage (SAN/NAS)3. Mgmt Server Overhead
20©2011 Desktone, Inc. All rights reserved.
Software
• Definition: software costs account for a large percentage of any desktop solution
• Categories• VDI Software• VDI Support/Maintenance• Microsoft SA/VDA

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

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
