The Evolution of End User Computing with NetApp
Chuck Foley and Mike Walsh, Sr. Directors at NetApp, discuss the challenges of VDI at enterprise scale, and present a cloud-based solution. Although organizations have been looking to VDI for over a decade, the cloud can accelerate the value of a VDI solution, presenting new options to meet the challenges of today's remote workforce. NetApp sees VDI moving "upstream" as organizations require remote solutions everywhere all at once.
NetApp's Virtual Desktop Service is designed to deliver VDI at enterprise scale. It includes a global control plane for hybrid or multi-cloud virtual desktop deployments leveraging VMware vSphere, HCI, and Azure, GCP, and AWS public clouds. Mike Walsh then demonstrates the SaaS portal, deploying virtual desktops in Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure as the delegates ask questions and discuss the solution. The session concludes with a discussion of the benefits of the solution: cost savings, security, and operational automation using NetApp Cloud Insights.
