� A “One-to-One” relationship between end points and Virtual Machines is established

� End-users are assigned the hostname of a VM which belongs to them

� Connections take place over an existing secured corporate network

� Remote viewing of VMs is done through desktop RDP software or the built-in features of the thin client

VCS Architecture – Quick Implémentation


VCS Architecture – Dynamic allocation (Connection broker)

ConnectionBroker

� Users connect through the connection broker present on the company network.

� Once authentified, the connection broker provides a list of ressourcesfor the user.

� A direct connection is established from the thin client to the correct virtual machine using RDP.

TCO / cost saving /and Green


Finally which TCO for VCS?

� Virtual Client can lower TCO by reducing cost of operations and end-user support.

Go to the Green Desktop…• PC = 100/150 Watts • Thin client = 5/10 Watts• BCH = 5100 Watts • 12 Watts par VM• 5 Watts par VM for storage and management servers•Results:• 125 watts (PC) – 8 watts (thin client) – 17 watts (12 +5) = 100 watts = costs saving

In France 0,10€ by KWh ....• 100 x (0,10/1000) = 0,01 € / heure / user = costs saving• x 60 hours / week = 0,6 € / week / user = costs saving• x 44 semaines (merci les RTT) = 26 € / year /user = costs saving

Cost saving / year :• 100 users = 2600 €• 442 users (1 châssis) = 11492 €• 1000 users = 26000 €

procedures with spare systems

� Solution� IBM eServer BladeCenter

� IBM Infrastructure Technology Services� Virtual Client Manager developed by IBM

based on IBM Grid software

� Technology Benefits:�Ease the administration of release changes of

client systems. �no fixed or patched connection between the

workplace and the client image� Integration of other server centric computing

architectures into the virtual client concept (VCC installation with access to applications served via Citrix or other vendors)

�Grid Computing Technologies integrated: Virtual Client Concept working place during daytime, heavy compute intensive calculations like risk management applications over night.

� Business Benefits:�Cost reduction�Flexibility to work in different locations�Ease-of-use using Web-based management

of entire infrastructure�Business resiliency by separating front end

business applications from dedicated hardware.

“We implemented a disaster recovery system based on the Virtual Client Concept solution for our back office department after our joined development initiative with IBM. The demonstrated performance, flexibility, functionality are impressive as also is the real-time behaviour of the virtual client and the feasibility of flexible access in our banking environment. With this disaster recovery implementation we have the ability to share 12 blade server for the whole back office team of 100 employees.”Ing. Karl Weißl, Manager Operations Risk Management & Treasury – Erste Bank Vienna
