Leading with a Data Centric Approach

Designing EUC for Optimal Experience




bution

Transitioning your process from VDI to End User Computing

▪ Virtual desktop is just the beginning of the EUC environment

▪ Desktops are connected to other applications and those applications have data

▪ Faster virtual desktops may expose limitations of applications end users rely on

▪ Breadth of end user experience needs to traverse past the desktop

▪ Consolidate user applications and their data alongside the virtual desktops

▪ Uncover opportunities to deliver performance to the user applications as well

Extending into the user application and data space

SolidFire QoS Enables Disparate Workload Consolidation


KEY POINT:

Only when full application/workload control is in place, can true consolidation occur without Noisy Neighbors.

A single controlled

workload……can reside next to other

controlled workloads …

NetApp HCI and End User Computing

▪ User workloads are impossible to predict

▪ Users behaviors, different day different behaviors

▪ Desktop / apps initial and changing requirements

▪ Assessment helps get close but doesn’t always predict

▪ Not server virtualization!

▪ Sized on multitude of factors such as user concurrency, desktop persistence, data type (desktop, profile, application)

▪ Different IO profile change throughout day

▪ Why do customers prefer HCI?

▪ Small incremental scale vs POD based approach

▪ Granular performance controls for workload isolation

▪ Rapid deployment on day zero

▪ Simplified management beyond initial deployment

Predictable Repeatable Scale of Compute OR Storage

▪ Tests must represent reality

▪ A day in the life

▪ Repeatable

▪ Tests must use tools that represent reality

▪ Don’t let the storage vendor push their reality on you

▪ 20% Read / 80% Write
