10 SMS = “Secret” Message Session Topic #3 – It’s No “Secret” Avaya VDI

11 Expanding Virtualization to the Desktop – VDI What is VDI? Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Virtual Desktop Interface Deployment Model Users PC runs virtually in Data Center Monitor, Keyboard, & Attached Thin Client on users desktop VDI Thin Client Citrix /VM HDX Receiver Citrix/VM Visual Receiver Local Audio Drivers Graphics & Camera VDI Client Endpoints (Thin Clients) Session Manager VDI virtual machine Citrix /VMware Device and Graphics Drivers Voice Controller Software Codecs Soft phoneIT Apps SIP RTP Data Center HDX/ICA/P CoIP

12 Why VDI?  All Data is maintained in Data Center  More Secure  Back-ups more reliable  Simplified deployment  Support  Maintenance  Lower TCO

13 Unified Communications in a VDI Environment  Standard VDI is not well suited to drive real time media directly to the desktop.  Avaya’s Real Time UC solution for VDI o Avaya VDI Communicator 1.0  Software installed on VDI thin client (desktop)  Provides connectivity to Avaya Aura CM & Session Manager  Processes all voice media locally on thin client off loading media processing from data center

14 Unified Communications in a VDI Environment o Avaya one-X Communicator  Runs on users virtual machine in Data Center  Shared control mode  Must run in “Desk Phone” mode  User interface only does not process any voice traffic

15 Avaya VDI Communicator User Interface Everyday scenario VDI Thin Client Loss of connectivity or VM machine down  Avaya one-X Communicator running on virtual PC in the data center accessed via thin client  Avaya VDI Communicator client running on the thin client Problem with the virtual machine Problem in the data center Problem with the network between data center and thin client Problem with the virtual machine Problem in the data center Problem with the network between data center and thin client

16 Remote desktop protocol (e.g., Citrix ICA VMware View PCoIP) Avaya Real-Time UC Solution for VDI Avaya Approach Media direct to client Lighter load on server QoS model supported Call path unaffected by VDI architecture “Headless Client” on end-point Media terminated locally “Remote Control” of Real Time app is extended to ‘local client’ on the VDI end point Session Down UI for loss of connection scenarios Local Audio Drivers Citrix/ VMware Receiver Graphics & Camera Avaya VDI Communicator VDI Thin Client Citrix/VM Virtual Device And Graphics Drivers Data Center GUI Session Control One-X Communicator Media Control (SIP) Business Apps VDI Virtual PC Control (SIP) Desktop

17 Avaya VDI Communicator … solving for scale & QoS for improved real-time communications in VDI off loads processing of real time communications to thin client or PC and Avaya Aura Performance basic voice if connection to data center or virtual PC is down Survivability works in various customer environments; choice of vendors within the VDI ecosystem Flexibility no Avaya hardware required desk phone is optional Software only Voice, IM/Presence, contacts / directory, conferencing, messaging Collaboration Virtual Desktop Avaya one-X Communicator view VDI Communicator on HP or Dell Wyse Thin Clients; or Windows PC Support for VMware View & Citrix Xen Desktop
