Infrastructure Challenges hitting the current desktop…

Distributed Workforce Outsourcing and off-shoring Mobile and remote workers

Security Control of PCs Patch compliance Security risks in data and infrastructure Regulations

Rising Cost of PC Management Deployment Support Controlling and

tracking IT Assets Unpredictable IT costs

IT Infrastructure Management Complexity Many makes and models Refresh cycles Standardization and availability



Address these Challenges and Cost Drivers

Zero in on real cost reductions

Consider more than moving PCs to a centralized location

Improve Security measures

Strategize for a resilient desktop disaster recovery plan:

Moving to Virtual Infrastructure Access

may be the answer...

What are the benefits of Client Virtualization?

Simplification Greater physical and data security

Simplifying management, maintenance, and support of your IT infrastructure

Reducing operating costs – average savings of users studied exceeded 40%

Flexibility Facilitating employee mobility Making changes to end user environment

easier Making it possible to adapt to dynamic

business demands

Productivity Higher uptime, greater user productivity Allowing a greater focus on core business and competitive advantage Enhanced IT service availability and optimized utilization of computing resources



Typical TCO reduction

Example: Virtual Infrastructure Access can help some clients save around 40% on IT total cost of ownership (TCO). In this case, client payback on Virtual Infrastructure Access project costs is realized within one year.

Where these savings are coming from…

Area Typical Savings

Rationale

Help desk 50% Removes the need for password resets. Simplified environment reduces complexity and support calls.Moves, adds, and changes typically do not require IT support.

Network engineering and support

50% All traffic is over HTTPS. No need. for complex firewall configuration and administration.

Desk-side PC support 90% Desk-side support, other than for hardware failures, is eliminated.

Security and user administration

75% Administration is policy-based and authorized users can be allowed to administer their own entitlements (rule-based, delegated admin).

Software distribution staff

50% Packaging happens once for servers and desktops.Software distribution is gradually replaced w/SW publishing.

Desktop engineering 75% The need for complex desktop engineering is eliminated though the combination of wrapping applications and moving to a central model.

Security engineering 50% Security is simplified through the introduction of a standard solution for encryption, single sign on and authentication.

Achieve Energy efficiencies through power savings

Steadily rising energy prices have made the cost of electricity to run and cool configurations an increasingly important TCO factor…

Power savings approach 73% in a 2000 seat hosted thin client environment versus the traditional desktop PC environment

- Saved 330,000 watts/hour for 2,000 users

- Estimated annual savings of INR1500- 5000 per seat from reduced power to run configuration*

- Equivalent to running an additional 1,659 thin client desktops for free…or saving $79,200/year…while reducing impact on environment

Additional savings accrue from reduced cooling requirements- Every 100 Rs saved on power reduction results in INR 50 reduction in cooling costs

- Estimated annual savings of INR 800- 1500 per seat from reduced cooling costs**

Estimated combined annual savings of INR 1500- 6000 per Estimated combined annual savings of INR 1500- 6000 per seat!seat! *estimates for this range are between a 10 hr/240 day year and a 24/7/365 day year

**est @ 50% of operating cost savings - actuals may vary based on location, weather & efficiency of cooling equip



Power Savings Example: 2000 Seat Thin Clients vs PCs

VIA Solution uses much less power than traditional desktop deployments

Traditional Desktop Power Consumption:

2,000 users X avg 225 watts per PC = 450,000 watts/hour

VIA Power Consumption:

20 BladeCenter w/HS21’s 8GB x 4,000 watts = 80,000 watts/hour

2,000 Thin Clients x 20 watts = 40,000 watts/hour

Together the servers and thin client = 120,000 watts/hour

VIA Power savings:

estimated up to 73 percent per desktop

450,000 watts less 120,000 watts = 330,000 watts saved/hour

Estimated annual savings of INR 1500-5000 per seat in reduced power required to run systems.

VIA Cooling Savings

Estimated power savings from cooling the more energy efficient thin client environment approaches 50% of the total savings realized from switching to a thin client environment

Estimated annual savings of INR 800-2500 per seat in reduced cooling required to run systems(Example assumes 10 cents per KW hour for electricity and a typical day’s device power-on time ranging from 10 hours/day x 240 work days up to 24 hours/day x 365 work days)
