AT A GLANCE

VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an end-toend solution for server-based virtual desktop computing that improves control and manageability while providing end users with a familiar desktop experience. VMware VDI gives you the proven power of VMware Infrastructure 3, along with VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM), an enterprise-class connection broker that manages user access to centralized virtual desktop environments.

BENEFITS

• Control and manageability in a single product: Administrators can more easily provision, manage and maintain desktops because they are running in the data center.

• Familiar end-user experience: End users get flexible access to a personalized virtual desktop that behaves just like their normal PC.

• VMware Infrastructure 3 integration: VMware VDI lets you extend virtual infrastructure capabilities to the desktop to leverage backup, failover and disaster recovery capabilities.

• Lower TCO: VMware VDI can help you lower the cost of operating corporate desktops by streamlining administration, reducing energy costs and extending
the useful life of PCs.

With VMware VDI, you get the proven VMware Infrastructure 3 software along with VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM), an enterprise-class desktop management server that securely connects users to virtual desktops in the data center and provides an easy to use web-based interface to manage the centralized environment. VMware VDI provides users with desktop business continuity, high availability and disaster recovery capabilities that until now were available only for mission-critical server applications.

Streamline Management, Reduce Costs & Increase Security

Organizations worldwide use VMware VDI to streamline desktop management, increase security, and reduce costs. Using VMware VDI, the time it takes to deploy a desktop is typically reduced to minutes, optimizing the value of IT resources and getting end users productive faster. VMware VDM is a flexible and intuitive desktop management server enabling IT administrators to quickly provision and tightly control user access. With these operational and security savings, customers realize a significant return on investment from their VMware VDI deployments.

Deliver Complete Desktop Environments for a Familiar User Experience

With VMware VDI, end users get a complete, unmodified virtual desktop that behaves just like a normal PC. There is no change to the applications or desktop environment, no application sharing and no retraining required. Administrators can allow users to install applications, customize their desktop environment and use local printers and USB devices. Users also get better support with VMware VDI because Help Desk technicians can perform tasks in the data center that would normally require an in-person visit.

How is VMware VDI used?

Centralized Desktop Management

Organizations use VMware VDI to replace traditional PCs with virtual desktops that run on servers in the data center. Administrators can provision new desktops in minutes, giving users their own personalized desktop environments while eliminating the need for
retraining and application sharing. This approach helps to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for your desktop infrastructure, extends the life cycle of your hardware and helps you respond more quickly to business needs.

Transactional User Management

VMware VDI is ideal for delivering cost-effective desktop services to fixed-function workers at branch offices, call centers and other locations. Controlling access to confidential data is easier because all virtual desktops reside in a central location. Integration with
RSA SecurID® enables support for two-factor authentication, while strong network encryption protects data in transit. These features can help reduce the risk of data leakage and malicious code intrusion while also helping to ease regulatory compliance burdens.

Desktop Backup & Disaster Recovery

VMware VDI extends the benefits of VMware Infrastructure 3 to the desktop, so customers can benefit from reliability, data protection and disaster recovery capabilities that have traditionally been available only for server applications. You can leverage shared
storage to back up your desktop data. Automated failover helps to ensure high availability for virtual desktops, while site-wide recovery mechanisms ensure rapid restoration of service after an unplanned outage.

How does VMware VDI work?

VMware VDI lets you consolidate client PCs as virtual desktops that run on servers in the data center using VMware Infrastructure 3. VMware VirtualCenter manages your virtual infrastructure, while VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) manages user access to
centralized virtual desktops from a wide range of devices, including Windows®, Linux® and Mac® computers, as well as thin clients.Build your virtual datacenter with the product suite that delivers you a choice of best-in-class hypervisors along with a comprehensive set of management and automation capabilities that increase IT efficiency, availability and management. 

END-TO-END VDI FUNCTIONALITY

• Central administration of desktops from any location: Manage virtual desktops in a data center where you can more easily perform upgrades, patches and desktop
maintenance.
• Scalable management: Store and manage thousands of virtual desktops on hundreds of physical servers from a single management console.
• Streamlined provisioning: Deploy new desktops in minutes instead of days or weeks using automatic desktop provisioning.
• Desktop isolation: Give each end user an isolated virtual desktop and help to eliminate the availability and performance problems associated with shared application technologies.
• Failure redundancy: Enable a high level of fault tolerance for your virtual desktop infrastructure with robust technology for connection redundancy and reliability.

ENTERPRISE-CLASS CONNECTION BROKERING

• Access management: Deploy VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) to manage user access to centralized virtual desktops.
• Flexible provisioning: Deploy individual desktops for each user or create persistent and non-persistent desktop pools.
• Strong network security: Protect sensitive corporate information using SSL tunneling to ensure that all connections are completely encrypted.
• Support for strong authentication: Strengthen access control through two-factor authentication using RSA SecurID®.
• Complete integration with Microsoft® Active Directory™: Control access to centralized desktops using your existing directory services infrastructure.

FAMILIAR END-USER EXPERIENCE

• Application compatibility: Run off-the-shelf, legacy or custom applications with no modifications.
• No end-user training required: Deliver complete, unmodified desktop environments to end users.
• Flexibility: Provide end users with their own desktop that they can customize to suit their needs and access from anywhere, or provision desktops that are more restricted
and revert to a known consistent state upon log-off.
• Access to local devices: Allow users to access local printers, USB devices and other peripherals.
