The Formula for Horizon Success
The Case for VDI Appliances PEX Presentation 2/2013
= Pc < Ps

Why appliances For Horizon View?
• Before the toaster, how did we make
toast?
• Before the clothes washer and dryer, how
did we wash and dry clothes?
• Before the oven or stove, how did we
cook?
Before VDI appliances, how did we
deliver virtual desktops?

Why VDI has been hard, …. and risky

Challenges
User experience matters most, and they have a basis to compare!

x Many moving parts to integrate,
test and support
x Complex shared storage problem
x Using existing shared storage is
usually a mistake
x Must perform
x Must be “Always ON”
x Expensive to deploy and scale
x Expensive to maintain
Infrastructure Challenges
DIY VDI is hard, expensive, and risky ……….

x Centralizing desktop data creates a large
random I/O workload profile, which is
the most challenging profile to deliver on
storage arrays
x Requires tuning the SAN for the available
CPU, RAM with available storage IOPs,
capacity and network bandwidth
x Achieving an optimal balance for a given
# of desktops
x Do over as you add more desktops??
x IOPS requirements peak during the boot
and login phases, when servers load
desktops over the SAN
x As storage is centralized, the potential
impact of storage-related problems is
significantly increased
Infrastructure Challenges
DIY SAN for VDI is Hard and Complex

has Been Greater Than the Pain to Stay the Same

x Too big and too complex
x No true shared storage vSAN
x Too expensive
• Designed for replica density using either
expensive, SAN, SSD or FusionIO
• Not designed for efficient storage of full
desktops, applications and data
 Pivot3
• Right mix of SSD, and traditional SATA in extreme
high performance HA solution that keeps costs
and footprint to a minimum
• Linear scale-out of both costs and performance
• Low entry footprint yet scales to ‘000s
• First View Rapid Desktop Appliance and now first

Simplified Infrastructure Deployment
“Pivot3’s P Cubed is The Easiest, Fastest, Simplest Horizon View
Deployment I’ve Ever Done.” - VMware EUC Desktop Specialist
Excellent End User Experience
“Users who tested them [virtual desktops] were astonished at the speed
of launching applications versus their normal desktop PC. The Club’s
designer commented that Adobe Suite applications launched as quickly
(if a little faster) on the zero client than they do on her Mac Pro desktop
and there were no issues with lag when working on posters in InDesign
or working in other applications – which surprised her greatly as she is
a Mac advocate and there is “no way a PC can run them as fast as my
Mac”. - IT Manager The Hurlingham Club, London UK
Powerful and Dynamic Scalability/Availability
“ESG Lab was able to execute a rapid implementation of a 300 desktop
VDI environment with excellent client performance, and then upgrade
the environment to 800 desktops, hot and online, with no disruption to
running clients.” - ESG Lab Test Report

Rapid, simple “In-in-a-box”
implementation
Dedicated high performance
infrastructure
Simplified storage management
High availability and automatic storage
load balancing
Linear scalability of desktops
Low entry price point and pay-as-you-
grow appliance model
Integrated, certified and tested with
VMware

The Formula for Horizon Success
= Pc < Ps
• VDI deployments occur when the Pain to
change (Pc) is less than the Pain to stay (Ps)
the same.
• Pivot3 P Cubed “Horizon Suite-in-a-box”
appliances make VDI deployments occur,
because they eliminate deployment and
performance risks while making VDI affordable
