Sun Virtual Desktop Solutions in Theory and in Real World Deployments

Join desktop virtualization product manager Chris Kawalek as he discusses strategies for securely accessing Windows XP Pro instances hosted on VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 from a variety of client devices. Leveraging a combination of Sun Virtual Desktop Solutions, including Sun Ray technology and Sun Secure Global Desktop Software, Chris will describe Sun's unique solutions for solving the security issues that arise when deploying Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) style architectures. In addition, real-world case studies, including a global deployment by Reuters, will be explored to show how customers use Sun Virtual Desktop Solutions and VMware Infrastructure 3 in demanding corporate environments.

Proven Virtualization Scalability with VMware Infrastructure 3

This session provides an overview of running VMmark and testing the scalability of 2-socket, 4-socket, and 8-socket systems with a detailed look into the systems, storage setup and configuration. We'll also look at how many virtual machine migrations took place from CPU to CPU and how the local and remote memory is utilized on AMD architecture.
