Virtualization 101

SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: PHYSICAL WORLD VS. VIRTUAL WORLD

SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: ADVANTAGES… Partitioning ! Multiple OSes, sharing physical resources

Portability ! Copying, exporting or moving VMs is simple

Security ! Hardware is isolated from the OS

SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: BUT WHAT ABOUT DESKTOPS? ! Resource management issues

! High-end user demands

!  IT operations staff to manage it all

! Business demands

!  End users demands

SO WHY VIRTUALIZE: AND WHAT ABOUT APPLICATIONS? ! Application virtualization allows distribution of multiple

copies of an application from a single physical server.

! Typical solutions: —  Citrix Metaframe…Presentation Server…now XenApp

—  VMware ThinApp, Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) —  Microsoft App-v

—  Others…

THE HOW: SERVERS, GOING FROM PHYSICAL TO VIRTUAL

!  Same hardware ! Tiny hypervisor !  Flexibility !  Scalability !  Security ! Recoverability

THE HOW: DESKTOPS, GOING FROM PHYSICAL TO VIRTUAL

!  Server hardware ! Density math !  Like VM’s

—  Flexibility

—  Scalability —  Security

—  Recoverability

WHY DOES NVIDIA CARE? CPU VS. GPU

!  Physical CPU in host —  Shared

—  Doing networking —  NOT a GPU!

!  Impacts density!

SEGMENTING THE USER POPULATION

Tier 1 (e.g. design engineers) Designing / Rendering 3D High Definition Graphics

Tier 2 (viewing/editing of 3D drawings) Viewing or working with 3D HD Graphics

Tier 3 (typical knowledge workers) Becoming more visual!

IMPORTANCE OF GPU

DELIVERING GPU: THE MISSING INGREDIENT FOR VDI! ! NVIDIA Quadro for professional graphics

—  The trusted industry standard

—  ISVs look for NVIDIA driver

! All users expect a great visual experience! ! The challenge: How to deliver in a virtual environment?

—  Avoid physical desktop issues

—  Take advantage of virtual benefits

HOW TO FAIL VDI

1.  Believing desktop and server virtualization are the same

2.  Doing too much

3.  Not knowing why you're virtualizing

4.  Forgetting the user environment

5.  Hanging on to bad habits

6.  Misjudging how your VDI deployment will scale

7.  Misunderstanding Microsoft licensing

8.  Thinking a VDI deployment will save you money

9.  Not working together

10.  Underestimating virtual desktop requirements

FEEDBACK FROM THE FIELD

"   Involve Citrix/VMware expert (e.g. VAR, Citrix, VMware)

"   Don’t optimize during proof of concept/pilot – it’s all about the user experience

"   Be realistic about user densities - this is not task worker world

"   Set up success criteria

"   You will fail w/o defining a clear goal

"   Know what you want to accomplish

"   Use GRID qualified servers – http://www.nvidia.com/buygrid

"   Don’t try to do your own bake/upgrade - use OEM integrated servers

"   Be on latest firmware (SBIOS & VBIOS)

"   Plan for different sets of servers for production & development

More than 600 proof of concepts

Declare victory!
