BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS FOR
WORKFORCE TRANSFORMATION
Workforce transformation initiatives often lead customers to look at desktop and
application virtualization. However, until now customers looking to embrace these
technologies have faced a number of hurdles, including;
• Significant up-front CapEx investments for infrastructure and endpoints
• Long planning, design and procurement cycles
• Supporting a solution stack made up of different vendor technologies
• Delivering a consistent user experience across locations and devices
These hurdles have often caused desktop transformation initiatives to fail fast, but
there is good news on the horizon. Dell EMC and VMware have come together to
provide customers with a superior solution stack that will allow them to get started
quicker than ever, with simple and cost-effective end-to-end desktop and
application virtualization.
INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENDPOINT
VDI Complete solutions feature a superior solution stack at an exceptional total cost
of ownership. VDI Complete offers Dell EMC VxRail appliance or vSAN
ReadyNodes, leverages VMware Horizon 7 or Horizon Apps, and includes NVIDIA
GPUs and GRID software for those who need high performance graphics. Wyse
thin clients and OptiPlex micro form factor desktop endpoints are also available.
COMPLETE, FAST AND SIMPLE
Simply plug in, power up, and provision virtual desktops in less than an hour and
reduce the time needed to plan, design, and scale your virtual desktop and
application environment. VDI Complete solutions come with powerful management
tools that allow you to get up and running faster and help streamline your day-to-
day operations. VxRail appliances including VMware vSphere and vSAN comes
pre-loaded and pre-installed to speed user onboarding. vSAN ReadyNodes will
require installation of vSphere and vSAN but are certified, validated and are
included on VMware’s vSAN ReadyNode Hardware Compatibility List.
VDI Complete features either Horizon 7 for those that need both virtual desktops
and applications, or Horizon Apps for those that only need published virtual
applications. Both Horizon 7 and Horizon Apps feature tight integration with the
infrastructure stack, including JMP technologies from VMware (Instant Clones, App
Volumes and User Environment Manager). This allows you to create and destroy
fully customized desktops and RDS hosts in seconds – enabling you to deliver Just-
in-Time desktops and applications that bring speed, scale, savings, and simplicity to
desktop and app delivery. Experience no hassle, zero downtime updates for your
desktop, apps and infrastructure.
