What Keeps VDI Projects from Succeeding? – What we’ve heard from you

Elephant in the room: cost of deploying VDI Large up-front CAPEX hurdle

VDI Solution Management Complexity Layers of non-integrated, disparate elements Management complexity and escalating OPEX

Inadequate infrastructure & poor planning Under sizing Complex infrastructure that doesn’t scale Lack of architectural approach day-1



VDI: The Negative Impact of Infrastructure on ROI

Source: 2011 Morgan Stanley Desktop Survey

Server, Storage and Networking on average comprise 50% of solution TCO per desktop

Average Cost per Virtual Desktop ($)Average Cost per Virtual Desktop ($)

Desktop Virtualization with Cisco and VMware targets these cost impacts, & accelerates your path to VDI ROI



+ : Transforming the Desktop

We’re jointly attacking the VDI pain points and…Delivering and Accelerated Path to ROI with VDI

Uncompromised VDI PerformanceCompute infrastructure purpose built for VMwarevSphere aware networking, security and QoSConsistent experience for users, across locations and devices

Simplified VDI ManagementFully integrated with vCenterProvision and deploy desktops in minutes

Best Price to Performance Ratio for VDI environments of ALL sizesEasily scale from 1 desktop to 1000’sOptimized balance of Memory, IO, and CPU performance



Cisco Unified Computing SystemIdeal Platform for Desktop Virtualization

• Lower cost for compute + network infrastructure

• Greater virtual desktop density withoutperformance impact

• Simple Operation —start in minutes, scalein seconds

• Massive Scalability —scales easily to 1000’s ofdesktops per UCS system
