This solution supports 150 VDI users from standard office workers to high end developers with various workloads. Global users are able to access their desktops from a server located in Mountain View, California, with negligible performance or latency issues. Michael Johnson, Director of Infrastructure and Desktop Support for CPP, a company well known for its Myers-Briggs type indicator tests, was looking for a higher performing, cost-effective solution for desktops. CPP Mike and his team are always looking towards continuous improvement. Making life easier for themselves and their users, located in the US, India, and Singapore, is a constant focus. CPP users were requesting better performing machines, particularly for business analytics. The slow loading of programs such as Microsoft Access was a cause of frustration. Users are now utilizing their VDIs because of Nimdesk’s performance and flexibility. They can access their desktops on personal tablets and mobile phones in a “Bring Your NIM D E S K S E R VI C E M AP Own Device” (BYOD) fashion. Desktops can be accessed via various protocols, including INTERNET HTML5, RDP, and the Nimdesk iPad application. Mike came from a larger technology company that had the resources to invest in first-generation SAN-based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Mike looked at both SAN-based infrastructure and converged solutions for CPP. As much as he wanted to offer VDI to the CPP team, the complexity and capital needed to deploy first-generation VDI was prohibitive. The 2U SMC Server on theaCPP Mike needed to find way diagram for a mid-size company actually like hasCPP 2 slots on advantage the back with to take of VDI and was “cards” that pull out.
