Understanding Citrix Virtualization
  • Consolidating IT resources for best security,
    cost and performance

Virtualization
Separates physical from logical
7
Application Virtualization
Separates where applications are used from where
they run

Desktop Virtualization Is Similar
Separates where the desktop is used from where it
runs

Comprehensive Solution
  • Virtualization at multiple layers of
    applications, multiple types of desktop access

12
Comprehensive App Virtualization Leverages
Multiple Technologies
  • Applications have many layers
  • User interface
  • Graphics display
  • File system and Registry components
  • System resource utilization (CPU, memory)
  • Network address
  • Printer drivers
  • Abstracting multiple layers provides best
    performance, security, compatibility and TCO

Citrix Presentation Server 4A Comprehensive App
Virtualization Solution
User Interface
CPU, Registry, DLLs
  • Virtual Interface
  • Screen changes sent to desktop
  • Only keyboard, mouse, audio I/O and
    peripheralI/O travels network
  • File Registry Abstraction
  • Isolate applications, prevent changes to registry
  • Increase no. of apps that can be virtualized
  • Eliminate app conflicts on shared server
  • CPU virtual memory resource abstraction
  • Ensures fair-share use of processing resources
    across users
  • Abstracts and consolidates DLLs to improve memory
    use
  • Printing and peripherals
  • Virtual channels enable virtual apps to work
    withlocal devices
  • Abstracts printer driver from client PC and
    consolidates with universal print driver
  • Network Address Abstraction
  • Create Virtual IP address for each user
    session
  • Expands range of apps that can be virtualized

Interface
  • Desktop Virtualization
  • Entire user environment resides on server
  • Only keyboard, mouse, audio I/O and peripheral
    I/O travels network
  • Shared OS or dedicated desktop image

15
Business Drivers
  • Application virtualization propelled by global
    economic trends

16
Business Continuity
  • The Telework Coalition
  • the best strategyis to decentralize the work
    force to limit disruptions brought on by nature
    and humankind.
  • have between 25 percent and 30 percent of their
    employees working offsite to have a true
    continuity of operations plan

Concerns About Outsourcing
19
Branch Office Expansion and Connectivity
  • Challenges
  • Security at branch offices
  • Lack of IT expertise at branches
  • Limited network infrastructure and bandwidth
  • Inefficient resource capacity utilization
  • Difficulty managing across geographic separation

20
IT Benefits
  • Operational and economic efficiencies

21
App Virtualization IT Benefits
ImprovedSecurity
  • Centralize data
  • Monitor and control access
  • Protect data from theft, destruction, attack

22
App Virtualization IT Benefits
ImprovedSecurity
Consolidation Standardization
  • Reduce physical deployment to users devices
  • Centralize management maintenance
  • Minimize impact of device network variables
  • Manage access from unmanaged devices
  • Up to 48 lower TCO (Gartner)

23
App Virtualization IT Benefits
ImprovedSecurity
Consolidation Standardization
  • Manage performance for best user experience
  • Deliver to any device over any connection
  • Add new users, divisions, offices rapidly
  • Scale both up and out

App Virtualization Strategic Business Drivers
  • Compliance
  • Business Continuity
  • Outsourcing
  • Expansion in Emerging Economies
  • Workforce Mobility
  • Consolidated apps and data simpler to control
  • Centralized IT provides more effective security
  • User activity and app usage easier to track

Confidential information is distributed
throughout the enterprise information residing
on PCs, laptops, portable devices is exposed to
much higher risks. - Enterprise Strategy
Group, March 2006

Beverly EnterprisesHealthcare Provider
  • Centralized control and accountability of data
    for regulatory compliance HIPAA, SOX
  • Virtualized entire desktop and applications
  • Encrypted screen updates keystrokes over LAN,
    WAN or Internet

27
App Virtualization Strategic Business Drivers
  • Compliance
  • Business Continuity
  • Outsourcing
  • Expansion in Emerging Economies
  • Workforce Mobility
  • Centralized apps and data are easier to protect
    and transport
  • Working from home is integral to business
    continuity plans
  • Lengthy workforce displacement a reality
    (pandemic preparation)

In the event of a pandemic, remote working will
allow segregation of the workforce. -

Companies are more concerned about theft or
misuse of outsourced data than they are about the
threat of terrorism. - Booz Allen Hamilton,
March 2006

CompuCreditReducing Risks of Outsourcing
  • Retained control of applications and data
  • Ensured customer financial and personal data is
    secure
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Rolled out call center operations quickly
  • Never ceded control in exchange for convenience

31
App Virtualization Strategic Business Drivers
  • Compliance
  • Business Continuity
  • Outsourcing
  • Expansion in Emerging Economies
  • Workforce Mobility
  • Lower infrastructure requirements at sites
  • Support and upgrades maintained centrally
  • Standardized use of critical business apps

Today, Asia accounts for 13 of world gross
domestic product, while Western Europe accounts
for more than 30. Within the next 20 years, the
two will nearly converge. - McKinsey Co., 2006

App Virtualization Strategic Business Drivers
  • Compliance
  • Business Continuity
  • Outsourcing
  • Expansion in Emerging Economies
  • Workforce Mobility
  • Support many devices and form factors
  • Secure data centrally
  • Consolidate data for backups
  • Update software easily
  • Support from one location

Control of confidential data decreases as a
function ofits location. - Enterprise
Strategy Group, March 2006
34
AccordRemote Working, Central Administration
