1. XenDesktop Built on FlexPod Flexible IT Infrastructure for Desktop Virtualization

2. Based on a Cisco Validated Design  Design guide for XenDesktop  Linear scalability  Rapid provisioning  Unified fabric  High performance under load

3. Simplify. Unify. Stay Flexible. Traditional UCS Nexus5000 NetApp ® V-Series Systems Unified Components FlexPod Unified Configuration

4. FlexPod Solution Develop and Test Starting Out Data Protection and Backup Desktop Virtualization Production Balanced Infrastructure: CPU, Memory, IO 5000 2500 1000 500010000 15000 20000 Infrastructure building block Pre-configured & validated Scales for on-demand growth Predictable performance

5. Why Cisco UCS & Nexus for VDI  Unified computing & network  Cisco extended memory technology  Lower management cost  Decrease time to market  Vertical and horizontal scaling  Repeatable! 5

6. Why NetApp for VDI  Unified product portfolio  Dedupe aware cache  Simplified management with VSC  Hardware accelerated zero cost clones with VSC  Horizontal and vertical scaling  Repeatable! 6

7. Disk Read and write data block from / to disk  VDI is i/o intensive  Performance bottlenecks  Poor user experience  Requires extra disks to handle IO  Very expensive solution Impact on Traditional Storage

8. Read data block from disk NetApp Confidential – Internal Use Only NetApp Flash Cache Disk Users aren’t affected during simultaneous boot or log on NetApp Handles Boot and Login Storms Flash Cache offloads read i/o  Boot time decreases  Storage workload decreases  Performance increases NetApp Data ONTAP optimizes writes  Multiple writes in 1 disk op  Reduces i/o on disks WAFL

9. Efficiency is Built In Virtual Clones (FlexClone ® ) Save up to 80% using writable virtual copies; only changed data uses capacity Thin Replication Save up to 95% capacity with our disk- to-disk data protection Snapshot ™ Copies Save 80% capacity; only changed data uses storage Double Parity RAID (RAID-DP ™ ) Use up to 46% less capacity versus mirrored data or RAID10 Deduplication Reclaim up to 95% capacity for full backups; 45% on average Thin Provisioning (FlexVol ® ) Liberate 20% to 33% of your capacity Save 95% Save 80% Save 33% Save 80% Save 95% Save 46%

10. Unified: much more than multi-protocol ProtocolsLow-to-High Scalability Multi-Vendor Virtualization Flash Cache SSD FlexCache ® Cost/Performance Unified Management  Same tools & processes: learn once, run everywhere  Integrated data management  Integrated data protection One Architecture, One O/S FC FCoE iSCSI NFS CIFS 10
