Desktop ChallengesCentralize Computing Resources

• Move under-utilized computing and storage resources back from the edge of your network

Increase Standardization

Desktop environments that arehardware independent

Streamline Management

Use a single set of desktop tools for both full desktopdevices and thin clients

Increase Flexibility

Quickly provision new desktops and applications to users

Emerging Access Requirements

Need for Instant Desktop Recovery & ProvisioningQuickly recover, re-provision and re-establish user access to ensure business continuity.

Need for Remote Offices, Virtual Offices, HotelingSupport for a virtual work environment where users have alternative access to complete desktop resources while working remotely.

Need for Secure and Controlled Access by Outsourcing EntitiesSecure data and resources within the corporate data center andProvide outsourced or offshore developers.

Virtual Desktop Solutions (VDS)

Multiple UsersPer Server

Each User WithDedicated Blade

Each User WithDedicated VM

Each user has a dedicated blade system and operating system. Applications are

installed individually for each user and the blades are managed individually. Like the blade solution, but each user's

system is a virtual machine instead of a physical one. OS and applications are

installed and managed individually.

One operating system is used to service multiple users. Each user has a separate

session but shares the operating system and applications with others.

Business and Operational Benefits● Solution results in faster provisioning, yields faster development

cycles and faster time-to-market● Apply the rigors of your data center to your desktop environment

Minimize Management& Support Costs

Native protocols are used to access apps.

No modification of the OS or apps required.

Each user desktop environment runs on a virtual machine located in the corporate data center.

All desktop and application communication remains in thedata center.

The access tier supports standard Authentication mechanisms:LDAPv3 Active DirectoryNISMS Windows Domain

Access layer controls the user access and application profiles.

It maintains audit logs of user and app usage.

It provides the display engine to the user desktop.

PC & Thin Client users can securely access their remote desktops & applications from any location. Once authenticated, the access tier establishes a display connection to the user device and a protocol connection to the back-end desktop OS and applications.

SSL/VPN Data Encryption between the client and the Sun Access Tier
