Replicate Your User.s Desktop Environment without Surgery</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Session Abstract:</p></th><td><p>Contemplating VDI? Minding user perception and the technical moving parts will go a long way towards your success. Unlike server virtualization, VDI won't just operate in the back room. Should you deploy this en mass, your entire organization will witness this infrastructure in action every day - you'll be judged by how it performs, whether you can deliver it smoothly, and most importantly, whether your users embrace it. To be successful, you not only need to understand your user community, but be able to efficiently navigate it's technical deployment. VDI has many moving parts, and those parts need to be well-oiled and work seamlessly together. But, it's those parts that makes VDI, well, VDI, so it's well worth it!<br/>The technical implementation of VDI will have a drastic impact on your users. Navigating user acceptance, ingrained workflow processes, and general user expectations will be things you'll encounter. And questions abound when a VDI solution is deployed to users. Will I get to save files locally? Will the desktop experience look and feel the same? How will I print? What will I do without an actual physical desktop? In this session you'll hear about a current pilot project underway that's tackling these very issues, and how to ease the transition for users, from technical implementation and rollout, to guiding end user acceptance.<br/></p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Track:</p></th><td></td></tr><tr><th><p>Session Type:</p></th><td><p>Technical Overview Session</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Keywords:</p></th><td><p>Networking; Storage / Backup; VMware Infrastructure; Virtualization Platform / Hypervisor</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Duration:</p></th><td><p>1 Hour</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Speaker(s):</p></th><td><p>Jonathan Berdyck( UPMC ), Daniel Dulick( VMware, Inc. )</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Speaker 1:</p></th><td><p>Jonathan Berdyck manages an eight member datacenter infrastructure team for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's (UPMC) Community Provider Services (CPS) division, the non-clinical, post-acute arm of UPMC.
