Виртуальные рабочие станции менее чем за $500 на одного пользователя VDI Всё-в-одном Простота установки Простота в использование Простота в управление Простота в расширение I’d like to introduce VDI-in-a-Box, an affordable all-in-one VDI software solution that delivers high-performance, high-definition virtual desktops for Small and Mid-sized Businesses. VDI-in-a-Box eliminates the high cost, IT resources and complexity of server virtualization components required by other VDI solutions. VDI-in-a-Box is… Simple to Install - Just load it on a commodity server, configure the desktop templates, the users and you’re ready to go in less than 2 hours; Simple to Manage - Using the included vdiMgr, web-based, centralized point-and-click management console; and Simple to Scale - With its patent-pending grid architecture, you just add more servers. Simple to Use - Login from over 2B devices, and a virtual desktop is readily available; For less than the cost of a PC, VDI-in-a-Box provides easily managed and secure virtual desktops with an immediate ROI instead of the 2-3 years typical with other solutions. Let me show you how we do it …

This solution also eliminates the need for shared storage and delivers built-in high-availability using inexpensive local storage that is included on standard servers. This eliminates over 60% of VDI costs, and enables a simple and affordable desktop virtualization solution. VDI-in-a-Box moves all the traditional VDI components into a single integrated software appliance. [ENTER] Start with a bare-metal server with direct-attached storage - no Microsoft server O/S is required. [ENTER] Next, add your choice of hypervisor – XenServer, Hyper-V or vSphere. [ENTER] Import the VDI-in-a-Box software appliance and you are ready to configure the desktops. [ENTER] All VDI infrastructure is built-in: from connection brokering and load-balancing to provisioning. Even high-availability is built-in. To scale, you simply add more industry standard servers and run VDI-in-a-Box on them – this forms a “grid” that you can manage centrally through the vdiManager console. So that’s the back-end. For the front-end, VDI-in-a-Box uses the Citrix Receiver to securely project these virtual desktops to almost any device: desktop PCs, laptops, thin-clients, tablets and smartphones.

Снижает стоимость инфраструктуры на 60% Снижает стоимость инфраструктуры на 60% Datacenter infrastructure Multiple components Many different IT skillsets Systems Integration Windows infrastructure Industry-standard servers Windows Admin All-in-one, built-in By re-writing the VDI software from the ground up and moving all the hardware components into the virtual appliance, VDI-in-a-Box removes 60% of the infrastructure required by traditional VDI. This is what makes it possible to provide virtual desktops for less than the cost of PCs. VDI-in-a-Box eliminates the management servers, connection brokers and the load balancers. But the biggest advantage is that it eliminates the requirement for shared storage and clustered SQL databases and yet still provides built-in High Availability! No other solutions can make that claim. This makes it possible for a desktop IT admin to install and manage the solution without requiring network, storage and extensive virtualization expertise. To deploy VDI-in-a-Box, start with a bare-metal server (no Microsoft O/S required) with built-in direct-attached storage and add your choice of hypervisor. Import the VDI-in-a-Box software appliance and you are ready to configure the desktops. And of course it does this for less than $500/desktop. Finally VDI-in-a-Box is the only true VDI appliance .. You simply add more servers and nothing more to scale the grid to support more desktops.
