11. Common Scenarios
Misconceptions based on
past experience
Questions about what is
needed to implement
the technology
Objection Type #1: Technology
www.dizzion.com 11
“We used VDI in the past and performance was horrible.”
“I’ve read that technology just hasn’t evolved to support
cloud-based VDI.”
12. Dizzion’s Purpose Built Infrastructure
www.dizzion.com 12
Built for high performance at scale
13. Are you saying you don’t trust “the cloud”?
www.dizzion.com 13
14. Common Scenarios
Underestimate the
infrastructure required to
properly support and
scale VDI
Don’t understand staff
resources and expertise
required to support
Objection Type #2: DIY
www.dizzion.com 14
“We have decided to implement ourselves instead.”
“We have excess infrastructure capacity to handle VDI in-
house.”
17. Common Scenarios
Customer believes compliance is
not capable in the cloud
Customer believes compliance
and security are 100% on their
shoulders
Customer believes they have to
add additional security to mobile
devices
Objection Type #3: Security
www.dizzion.com 17
“Our data is compliance-regulated so a cloud-based
solution won’t meet our needs.”
“Security is too hard to implement with mobile or remote users.”
18. Controls & Security Standards
WWW.DIZZION.COM 18
Control Attribute Examples:
Control User Administrative Rights
Deny printing (local, network, screen)
File and Folder redirection
Shut off USB access to peripheral
devices
Turn off copy and paste
Control User and Computer GPOs
(group policy objects)
Over 100 access control attributes provide the ability to restrict
access to systems, applications and data by the type of user.
Security standards can be implemented and maintained much more
easily – can be controlled at the AD level.
Ability to solve for compliance standards (i.e. HIPAA, PCI)
19. SECURITY LAYER TECHNOLOGY BENEFIT
Endpoint Devices GPO User Access and Security
Endpoint Session No VPN, Simplified Logins
Network Integration Secure Access to Apps and Data
Customer Customer Responsibility
OS Applications PCI Compliant Antimalware
Desktop Virtualization Industry-leading Cloud Security
Server Virtualization Industry-leading Cloud Security
Network Industry-leading Network Security
Physical Simplified Audits
Security at All Layers

20. Common Scenarios
Confusion about what
is/is not included
Not making an apples to
apples comparison (i.e.
PaaS, IaaS)
Not considering what
DaaS eliminates for in-
house staff
Objection Type #4: Price
www.dizzion.com 20
“The price for your DaaS solution is way too high.”
“The cost comparison doesn’t prove out.”
21. Comparing IaaS, PaaS, In-house & DaaS
www.dizzion.com 21
IaaS/PaaSHostedVDIDaaS
Example Provider
Technically savvy buyers
who want out of the server
support business
Buyers with limited
technology and support
expertise
Buyers seeking managed
solution to fit their unique
business, technology and
security requirements
Infrastructure only; your
know how, tools,
maintenance and support
One-size-fits all approach,
limited flexibility and high
implementation and
support costs
Purpose-built customizable
managed solution making
DaaS simple and cost
effective to consume
What You GetAppeal

Storage
Network configuration
Load balancing

Price
Price is way too high.
People don’t understand various options, what is/is not included, not apples to apples (i.e. PaaS, IaaS, etc.); market confusion
What is included
What the solution eliminates for them/what they don’t have to do any more
Technology
Overall negative perception based on past experience/poor performance/etc.
Technology and solutions have vastly improved
Worked for company running it in past
Our purpose built solution and stack, etc.
What kind of network will I need for this/what network changes will be required to implement this technology?

Would it make sense to provide cost ranges here? Or perhaps state some examples verbally?
IaaS/PaaS – Great for technical buyers, non technical buyers are unable to maintain internally
Hosted VDI – one-size fits all doesn’t meet the mid-market & small enterprise who require customization, flexibility and hand holding
Dizzion DaaS - Purpose-built technology solution, designed to support mid-market, small enterprise requirements their way
Listing of items internal staff don’t have to do if you go the DaaS route
