Lenovo ISS for VMware Horizon VDI on vSAN
About this offer
Meeting the Needs of the Mobile WorkforceIndustries as diverse as healthcare, finance, government, retail, and education have the common requirement to support and secure a mobile workforce. Organizations often have a dispersed workforce using many PCs, laptops, and mobile devices distributed to field offices and remote locations. Client virtualization is a powerful solution to meet the need for flexibility and global availability of compute resources, while managing data security and compliance on mobile devices.Lenovo Client Virtualization Solutions for VMware Horizon help your organization meet these business requirements by centrally managing the desktop image within the corporate IT environment rather than at the remote worker or office location. With user data, user profiles and application data files on centralized servers, data center security and manageability are extended down to the user resources. Users have anywhere, anytime, secure access to data and applications from any device, including tablets and smartphones.Deliver Secure Desktops While Cutting IT CostsVMware Horizon provides a streamlined approach to deliver, protect, and manage Windows and Linux desktops and apps while containing costs. It supports a consistently rich end user experience for office workers, mobile workers and even 3D developers across devices, locations, media and connections.Horizon is tightly integrated with VMware’s Software-Defined Data Center, which includes vSphere, vSAN and NSX. This integration provides a seamless turnkey solution, allowing IT to dynamically allocate resources with virtual compute, virtual storage and virtual networking to simplify management and drive down costs.Reduce day-to-day operations costs with a single platform that allows you to extend virtualization from the data center to your devices. A unified version of all software across your desktops provides maintenance and services savings, and unauthorized downloads of software or malware are prevented with controlled boot images.Highlights· Delivers, protects and manages virtual desktops and apps while providing end users access anytime, anywhere, across any device· Enables a scalable solution for a few hundred to several thousand users to meet current and future needs· Supports a wide variety of VDI usage models from typical office users all the way up to high-end 3D rendering power users· Optimize cost and performance with ThinkAgile VX configurations that have been verified by Intel® via the Intel® Select Solution programSimplify Solutions Infrastructure with ThinkAgile VXVMware Horizon has been certified on several Lenovo servers, including the Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series. ThinkAgile VX Series are VMware vSAN-based hyperconverged servers with compute, storage and virtualization co-located on a single node. The VX Series enables you to dramatically simplify your server, storage and virtualization deployments and pool your resources into a single virtualized infrastructure for more flexible and efficient utilization and management.If you currently have a client virtualization solution in a 3-tier architecture, switching to a hyperconverged architecture can reduce your cost per virtual machine. While requiring a dedicated server in a 3-tier environment, VMware Horizon could be one of many workloads supported on a hyperconverged server, thus increasing utilization of your server resources and lowering your total cost of ownership.The ThinkAgile VX Series is available in several models. Each is preconfigured, pretested, and optimized to provide the simplest way to bring a new VMware hyperconverged environment online. If you have an existing VMware environment, the VX Series can integrate into it easily.Powered by LenovoReference architectures also exist for VMware Horizon with the following Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile servers:· ThinkAgile HX hyperconverged appliances with Nutanix software· SR630/SR650 - 1U and 2U, 2-socket servers, respectively, that provide extensive flexibility to fit almost any customer environment· SR645/SR665 - 1U and 2U, 2-socket servers, respectively, that provide good cost/user. The SR665 supports up to 6 NVIDIA GPU modules for power users employing 3D rendering or medical imaging applications· SD530 - A dense 2U configuration that supports up to four 2-socket servers· SN550 - A compute node that is part of the Flex System blade server. Flex System allows for the pooling of system resources including power, cabling, management, networking, and cooling.All Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile servers are high performance systems, regularly holding numerous world performance benchmarks. Engineered for always-on productivity, ThinkSystem servers are consistently ranked high in x86 server customer satisfaction and #1 in x86 server reliability. Complementary HardwareAll configurations support on-board storage, and the SRxxx and SDxxx servers support attached storage with the Lenovo ThinkSystem DE or DM Series storage arrays. These all-flash and hybrid arrays offer a range of connectivity options, minimizing latency and maximizing performance.Connecting the servers to the storage in this solution can be easily accomplished with network switches. The recommended offerings for this solution are 1 GbE switches for office or knowledge workers, and 10GbE for power users (utilizing heavy graphics applications like CAD/CAM and AI model rendering).Complementary SoftwareLenovo offers a wide range of complementary software offerings for your VMware Horizon environments.Data can be backed up with Veeam® Availability Suite™. Veeam Agents for Microsoft Windows and Linux work with Veeam Availability Suite to deliver comprehensive backup and recovery for ALL workloads — virtual, physical and cloud — with a single management console.The delivery of graphics-rich desktops and workstations is facilitated by NVIDIA® virtual GPU (vGPU) software in conjunction with NVIDIA GPUs.Today's digital worker requires more graphics-intensive applications and operating systems to be productive. Windows 10 provides a rich, immersive experience and is the most graphically intensive operating system to date. NVIDIA GRID software is designed to deliver Windows desktops and applications at full performance while NVIDIA Quadro Virtual Data Center Workstation (vDWS) software allows users to access their professional graphics applications with full features and performance from any device, anywhere.Lenovo XClarity™ Administrator is a centralized resource management solution that is aimed at reducing complexity, speeding response, and enhancing the availability of Lenovo server systems and solutions.It captures industry-leading proactive platform alerts, enabling administrators to migrate workloads or replace failing components without incurring downtime.XClarity Administrator enjoys tight integration with VMware vCenter through the XClarity Integrator for VMware vCenter.

The XClarity Integrator for VMware vCenter also speeds Day 1 provisioning of new Lenovo systems into production, simplifies ongoing administration, and increases workload uptime in clustered environments by eliminating system maintenance windows and dynamically initiating workload migration based on user-defined system events.TruScale IaaS: OpEx vs. CapExLenovo TruScale Services allow you to have your VDI infrastructure on-premises with a “pay for what you use” subscription instead of an outright purchase. This allows you to better tie your VDI expenses to your business use.Lenovo VMware Horizon solutions are supported under the TruScale model, offering customers payment options to best suit the needs of their organization.End-to-End VDI SolutionCompleting the Lenovo end-to-end client virtualization solution for VMware environments are the endpoints. From devices to desktops, Lenovo helps businesses access the data needed to make informed decisions. Lenovo offers a wide range of PCs, tablets, thin clients and smartphones for end user access. The portability, versatility and lightweight features of Lenovo thin clients allow for deployment across the organization, especially where space is at a premium.Lenovo streamlines device deployment and management with Lenovo Terminal Manager (LTM™). LTM is a browser-based solution for managing groups of thin clients. Whether you operate in a simple or complex environment, you can streamline the management of multiple hosted desktops all from one place. LTM's web-based console allows IT administrators to freely access it from any device that can connect to the server, as well as pushing through certificates and software packages. LTM also simplifies the ability to rapidly deploy additional devices, scaling to thousands of connected devices.Have legacy devices in your environment? You can convert them to thin clients with Lenovo Fusion Desktop. You can even temporarily convert laptops and other devices with a USB port to a thin client with Cloud Desktop on the Go. The memory stick solution will force the device to boot from it when connected. When the memory stick is removed, the laptop will return to booting off its hard drive.Tying It All TogetherTo have a successful VDI implementation, it is important to know which users will be accessing what applications, how they normally use those applications, the time of day the users normally work, and other factors.Lenovo Professional Services conduct hundreds of VDI implementations a year and have extensive expertise in VDI across multiple industries.
