Intro / background on myself and Molten Technologies. Today I’ll be talking about the cloud or the ....as a Service paradigm as it relates to delivering a great desktop experience for Enterprise. Getting to Desktops as a Service can offer major advantages and a great user experience for Enterprise clients, but over the last 15 years that I have been helping virtualise desktops, getting to well served desktops can have some bears on the road. Today I will be sharing some suggestions for getting aroung them. OREverybody understands cloud computing or the ... as a service paradigm.Desktops can be delivered as a Service as well, but it is not as easy as some of the other IT services out there because of the inherent complexity of them. In this presentation/workshop I’ll walk through some of hurdles on the road to DaaS
Shared services are everywhere...Electricity Water, HeatingTelephone InternetPublic Transport
Why would you do something like this? Pro’s: maybe cheaper$/kWh (OpEx), no or unreliable grid to deliver the service, service you deliver is dependent on the power (UPS in rack, generator in DC)Con’s: Very rigid, so you have to overprovision for future growth = CapEx, expertise in house needed and in this case regulations
Cloud computing is location-independent computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand.Cloud computing describes a new delivery model for IT services, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources.---So, Cloud Computing is not just Software as a Service, Rich Internet Applications, Web 2.0, or Software & Services.

Used to be called ASP (often based on WTS/Citrix)
Small businesses: Pricing (£/$/€ per month, per user)Self servicing – add users/applications and services (hosted)Access only over the InternetMidsized businesses: Pricing and flexibility (£/$/€ per month, per user depending on numbers)Service level agreements, dedicated customer support and contacts Tiered servicing – rights to add users/applications/services inside companyAccess to bespoke applications inside their own datacenter (VPN/MPLS)Enterprise / Government: Mostly interested in virtual containers – used to host their own desktop imagesService level agreements, Disaster Recovery, Multi Datacenters across Geo’sVirtual desktops on premise and at the service provider, but single point of administration
Notes;Hybrid model is predicted by analysts to be the dominant one for the next 3 years as many of Enterprises are starting to move towards the cloud, but many are doing so in a staged process.
Make it short and sweet, this will be discussed in the next few slides
For the first para: Central storage problems – commonly called ‘storms’Final point: (Use local storage) – if possible but be smart about it
Working with experienced and deeply knowledgable specialists will help.
While RIA is from the early 2000’s, it’s still not a true standard. Cloud application intercommunication is a known issue – XML is supposed to fix that, but there’s no standard like OLE/DDE of a Windows desktopFlash and HTML 5 are obvious points of attention here with Google/Adobe on one side (flash) and Apple on the other one (HTML5), Microsoft in the middle (Ajax, Silverlight).
