* We mentioned that one of the major benefits of virtualization is the new service levels that IT can provide to the business. In the before picture, provisioning new server used to take 20-40 man hrs, or up to an entire week. And here we are talking about the simple case where they were just trying to put an existing server image – existing application on a new server box. That required no less than 8 steps – from configuring hardware, to loading the operating system, to loading standard tools such as backup utilities, monitoring utilities etc, configuring the networking, then “throwing it over the wall” to the applications team to load and configure the software applications, then test the applications, and then coordinate the production switchover. After virtualization, that entire week long process was collapsed to half an hour. Essentially one step – right clink on an existing virtual machine, and make a clone of it. The new virtual machine will have the OS, networking, utilities, configured software applications ready just like the original one. The operational and financial impact of this streamlined servers provisioning was 10K man hrs hours labor saved per year. * * * VMware VDI is built on virtual desktops running on the VMware VI3 platform. This can include the many advanced features of VI3, such as VMHA, DRS and VMotion. [Click] VMware VDM is a component of VMware VDI which is installed on servers (or virtual servers) in the data center. [Click] VMware VDM connects clients to the virtual desktops. This process is generically known as connection brokering. The logic controlling which virtual desktop a client should connect to is handled by VMware VDM. This makes the process of connecting to VMware VDI simple for the end user and tightly controlled for the IT administrator. [Click] VMware VDM is integrated with Active Directory. Users are able to authenticate to VMware VDM using the same credentials used to logon to a physical PC in the corporate domai
