VDI for Today's Dynamic Desktop

VERDE VDI

• Desktops hosted and managed in data center
• Clients: PCs, Mac, Thin Clients & PDAs
• Windows and Linux Desktops
• VERDE Display protocol, RDP, NX, SPICE

VERDE Virtual Desktop Infrastructure provides dynamic routing of user sessions to the least busy and memory optimized VERDE server through Distributed Connection Brokering. This brokering provides no single point of failure or choke point allowing greater availability and scalability. Additionally, the VERDE Server Side Hypervisor includes the VERDE Hypervisor based on a KVM hypervisor optimized for Desktop Virtualization. Hardware-assist (VT) allows more desktops to run per CPU core. KSM (Kernel Shared Memory) improves memory density.

Highlighted Capabilities Include:

• Completely stateless cluster servers increase scalability with Distributed Connection Brokering architecture
• Role- and task-based provisioning for VDI deployment modes
• Purpose-built solution runs on Windows, Linux, MAC workstations, Netbooks, iPads and PDAs.
• Multi-task capabilities enable users to launch more than one virtual desktop session simultaneously
• Support for SPICE high-def multimedia protocol and SmartCast technology provisions the appropriate protocol (SPICE, RDP or NIX) based on the user connection and type of desktop for a rich PC experience
• Single console supports USB peripherals for online, offline and branch VDI users

VERDE Leaf

VERDE Live Environment Access Format (LEAF) provides both connected (access to remote virtual desktop sessions) and offline (virtual desktop session is locally cached and executed on the client machine) access. LEAF is a self-contained local desktop virtualization platform that is fully secure, so there is no need to worry about external endpoint security solutions. LEAF also includes integrated VOIP (Skype) applications.

Highlighted Capabilities Include:

• Fully-integrated [Type 1 client Hypervisor] for offline VDI users either on a laptop or portable drive with automatic bi-directional sync.
• Support for USB peripherals for online, offline and branch VDI Users.
• Gold Master Image model updated on the central server and automatically reflected in the user’s offline LEAF environment.
• Centralized management through LEAF provides disconnected/local execution for mobile and offline desktop users.
• Desktops hosted on branch server & managed from data center
• Clients: Devices with VT or AMD-V

VERDE Console

The VERDE web-based monitoring console offers real-time visibility to all virtual desktop sessions running on VERDE cluster servers. Administrators have flexibility to view virtual desktop sessions grouped by user or server or based on type of Gold Image. In addition, the console provides real-time server utilization metrics.

Highlighted Capabilities Include:

• Unified management console between VDI, offline VDI and branch VDI.
• At-a-glance views to virtual desktops by user, server of type of Gold Image.
• Configurable reporting including capacity and historical data, user events (login/logout) desktop and application activity, admin events (login/logout), etc.
• Centralized visibility for VDI, offline VDI and branch VDI.
• Support for USB peripherals in VDI, offline VDI and branch VDI users.

VERDE Branch

Ensure IT services are up and running for every employee, at every branch. VERDE Cloud Branch eliminates WAN latency to deliver a native-PC experience even over choppy and unreliable networks. VERDE Cloud Branch reduces network bandwidth in many scenarios while providing business continuity even if the network is down. OurCloud Branch server connects directly to the VERDE Cluster and Gold Master Image repository, providing a consistent, high-quality experience.

Highlighted Capabilities Include:

• Direct connection ensures branch users are running the latest, authorized copies of desktop sessions.
• Organizations benefit from higher performance and response times while maintaining centralized control of desktop images in the data center – eliminating the need for expensive WAN optimization infrastructures.
• Support for USB peripherals for online, offline and branch VDI users.
• Zero-admin Cloud Branch delivers LAN-like VDI performance for branch users.
