What is ACE?
Physical Desktop PC

• Contractor PC
• Telecommuter
• Remote developer / tester
• In-house desktop PC
• Sales PC

25
VMware ACE The Features
Encryption Full AES-128 encryption of the
virtual disk and configuration files
Copy Protection Locks an ACE instance to a
specific computer or device

• Activation/Deactivation
• Validates users before first launch
• Allows administrators to remotely disable
• Expiration based on date

X
Network Quarantine Controls access to network
resources on both the guest and host.
Device Control Determines what types of devices
can be attached to the virtual machine
26
Pocket ACE Security Wherever You Go
Pocket ACE creates secure portable computer
environments without a PC.

• A secure policy managed virtual machine stored on
  portable media
• Virtual machine is completely protected and
  isolated from the host PC
• Optimizations for running off portable media
• A better media than DVD for many use cases
• Reduces client-PC hard disk space constraints as
  a deployment concern

How Customers Use VMware VDI
Desktop PC Replacement Replace traditional PCs
with thin clients, repurposed PCs or less costly
desktop hardware. Address short desktop
lifecycles. Simplify moves, adds changes (MACs)
because the desktop images are administered in
corporate data center.
Transactional Office Workers with Security
Needs Secure all sensitive personal records or
intellectual property running on laptops in host
country data center. Control access to
centralized desktop images through Microsoft AD.
Provide complete desktop isolation. Ensure all
sessions are fully encrypted using VMware VDIs
optional Security Server.
Disaster Recovery Business Continuity Eliminate
unplanned desktop downtime through VMware
Infrastructure 3 DRS and HA capabilities.
Simplify backup and desktop disaster recovery
because desktops are located in corporate data
center and can leverage shared storage
technology.

Case Study Kindred Healthcare

• Business Challenges
• Mobile roaming solution for doctors nurses
• Bedside access to patient records data
• Ensuring HIPAA compliance
• Technical Solution
• Thin clients from Neoware mounted on rolling
  carts, connecting wirelessly to virtual desktops
• Hundreds of virtual desktops deployed on hosted
  ESX servers in VDI implementation
• Why VMware VDI
• Flexible secure access to sensitive data anywhere
• Quick desktop provisioning improved reliability
• Enthusiastically adopted by demanding user base
• Smart economics desktops require less power and
  can be deployed as needed, centralized mgmt

Nurses and doctors dont really care about the
underlying technology. They just want it to
work, and help them do their jobs better. The
fact that our users have so readily adopted our
VDI-powered workstation on wheels shows that this
solution really works for them.

How Customers Use VMware ACE
Employee-Owned PCs Deploy a pre-configured IT
managed virtual laptop with OS, applications
and data in a secure package to 3rd party
systems, e.g. employee/contractor/partner-owned
PCs. Policies to encrypt data, lock down network
and device access, and control user
authentication ensure that the virtual laptop
is a secure sandbox environment for accessing
corporate resources.
Secure Portability For mobile users in the field
such as sales or field support personnel, use the
Pocket ACE feature to deliver complete operating
environments on portable devices, including USB
drives, iPods, etc., that provide secure mobile
access to corporate resources from almost any PC
without risk of compromising sensitive data.
Training Evaluations Use ACE to rapidly
configure systems for training and
evaluations/POCs. Preconfigured snapshots take
minutes instead of hours to set up, enabling
systems to be ready for use and easy to reset.

Case Study Canadian Blood Services

• Business Challenges
• Hundreds of laptops with different versions of
  hardware and software resulting in huge dollars
  to upgrade
• Time to certify with Health Canada each time
  hardware or software changes made in order to
  adhere to Canadian healthcare regulations
• Technical Solution
• ACE 2 for laptops, desktops and mobile blood
  donation units (200 clients)
• Why VMware ACE
• Simpler administration of all clients
• Reduced time to add new PC to lt10 minutes
• Streamlined regulatory compliance
