ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 Types of Virtualization Server Virtualization Desktop Virtualization –Local Vmware, XEN, etc. –Remote Server Based Computing (Citrix)‏ VDI (Vmware)‏ Blade PCs (sort of)‏ We will be concentrating on… Remote Desktop Virtualization

ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 Why Do It? Extend Client Hardware Life Improve Security Decrease Time to Deploy Clients Improve Remote Access Improve Business Continuity Capability Improve E-discovery Capabilities It's “Green” Save $$$

ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 Why Not Do It? Requires Constant Network Connectivity Increased storage requirements (VDI)‏ User perception Generally bad with multimedia New skills required for PC technicians “We’re just going back to mainframes.”

ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 Recent Developments From VDI Supplier(s)‏ Off-line VDI Eliminates need for constant connectivity Scalable Virtual Image technology reduces storage requirements by up to 90%

ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 Considerations User Perception Disk De-duplication – Possibly addressed by Scalable Virtual Image technology Cost (VDI versus Terminal Server)‏ Network Performance / Reliability Off-line VDI changes everything

ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 Yuma County’s Current State Using VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3.0 for server virtualization – Blade Servers with all virtual images stored on the SAN VDI pilot program in place Terminal server in production for a single application

ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 How Did We Get Here? Terminal Server – Result of a delivery problem with specialized case management software VDI – Natural outgrowth of successful server virtualization and Linux desktops

ARIZONA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT Phoenix, AZ May 28-29, 2008 What Now? (Current Plans)‏ Pursue three levels of desktop virtualization 1. No virtualization (CAD and similar)‏ 2. VDI for power virtual desktops 3. Terminal Server or Citrix for base level virtual desktops Build user acceptance Evaluate thin clients
