http://www.nexthink.com © Nexthink 2013. All rights reserved. You cannot virtualize what you don’t know! Application portfolio analysis is one of the most important areas to focus on during the data-gathering process. Understanding users' behaviors and workstyles is critical to determining the proper design of the hosted virtual desktop (HVD) environment. It is important to develop a baseline for desktop performance to determine whether the HVD will meet users' expectations. From Gartner "Seven Stages to a Successful Hosted VirtualDesktop Rollout”, June 2012

SBCVD PC W7 OTHERS Modelize current usages Assess legacy Classify archetypes Tune each archetype Prepare runtime masters Infrastructures capacity planning Manage deployments Assess security policies Publish SLA’s and monitoring dashboards Nexthink methodology

Key differentiators Results based on runtime activities and resources from real end-users no assumptions inputs, no simulated workloads, no average only Interactive live navigation and immediate results no complex SQL queries, no static reports, no end date

So do the following: Start with dashboard already computed and with 1.Flagged candidates selected 2.Have also the right metric selected and computed (Savings  Ops savings) 3.Sort department by tech feasibility to avoid N/A to appear 4.Do a previous selection of candidates to have a clear outputs on the visualizations as in this example 1 2 3 4 4

http://www.nexthink.com © Nexthink 2013. All rights reserved. Demo tips 2/3 Show how you can selected candidates based on (but never change the candidate selection) Overall index (take the best score) On user experience (select on heat map) On particular metric (save cost on operations supporting and patching OS) Cancel no you don’t modify the selection Pick one source and show the detailed list of metrics

Demo tips 2/3 Explain the typical day and the 3 values Show estimations computed Show how you can fine tune capacity by eliminating high storage requirements You need to make sure in your flagged candidate there is one very high storage source (use the readiness assessment, tech feasibility to pick one)

http://www.nexthink.com © Nexthink 2013 All rights reserved. Key differentiators Real-time visualization no periodic collect, no complex SQL database, no waiting time End-user perspective no gaps from local resources, Citrix receiver, to server, applications, and back-end access, including non Citrix user apps

http://www.nexthink.com © Nexthink 2013. All rights reserved. Demo tips – Case 1 Case 1: user calls to complain that visio is hanging when on citrix What server is this user connected to now? Any specific issue related to these hangs? 1 2 Run investigation to get Citrix server used now Server name displayed, show timeline view

http://www.nexthink.com © Nexthink 2013. All rights reserved. Demo tips – Case 1 Show problem with app not responding, validate it is visio Show while app is not responding server is experiencing high memory utilization by app… (visio!)

http://www.nexthink.com © Nexthink 2013. All rights reserved. Demo tips – Case 3 Citrix Receiver is reported to crash for some users How to quickly find root cause and apply proactive remediation measure? Launch a basic search for “crash” Run the related investigation Find the source and show source view

http://www.nexthink.com © Nexthink 2013. All rights reserved. Demo tips – Case 3 See and validate repetitive crashes and the cause of high CPU Drill down to event to get details of the binary and find that it is a version with bugs that was not updated on this machine yet … and potentially other machines
