The Magic of Non-Persistent Virtual Desktops

Guise Bule, CEO, tuCloud
Non-persistency is becoming more common in virtual desktop deployments and for a number of different reasons. In this talk I will explain the concept and its application, discussing Federal government non-persistent deployments from a cyber-security perspective and how non-persistency is used by UCLA to help their students get the resources they need.

Finally, I will be talking about the magic of a non-perisistent desktop that uses persistent (virtualized) user layers to provide a persistent experience to its user, the magic being that the user never knows that their desktop is a non-persistent one.

  • Closing the Gap Between Patient Expectations and Patient Portals Jul 17 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    "Patient Engagement" is one of the hot terms in the healthcare world today, most often a discussion that occurs without the involvement of patients. What patient engagement and patient empowerment mean often depends on where you sit in the healthcare value chain. Patient goals and expectations for engagement are often different from those of providers, payers, and
    employers. Over the next few years, some of the biggest changes we are likely to see in healthcare are an increase in patient-provider interaction, patient responsibility, patient choice, and patient control of data.

    How are patient expectations changing with regards to interaction with healthcare payers and providers? What are the goals of ACOs in patient engagement and what solutions are needed to support these goals? How do current IT solutions measure up and what are the gaps? How will the increasing impact of consumerism and patient empowerment create new opportunities to provide healthcare IT solutions directly to individuals/patients? What surprises are there in store for patients, payers and providers in patient engagement and empowerment the next few years?
  • Wi-Fi Optimization: Every day, another 4 million devices are activated. Ready? Jul 17 2013 2:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    The mobile enterprise challenges are mounting: enabling users simple and secure access to the network, ensuring applications run smoothly, and building sufficient capacity to handle unpredictable usage and future growth. A superior level of Wi-Fi design is now required—something shown lacking by a recent Gartner report: “By 2015, 80% of newly installed wireless networks will be obsolete because of a lack of proper planning.” A clear indication of the problem is that a typical wireless user is provisioned with less than 5% of the bandwidth of a typical wired user. Wi-Fi Optimization includes designing for: the user, device, application, spectrum and capacity. This session will examine critical design components to ensure predictable performance, even under heavy loads.

  • Storage, Meet Your Software-Defined Future Recorded: Jun 12 2013 48 mins
    Software Defined Storage. Is it just another buzzword or can the concept bring meaningful change to the way storage is acquired, implemented and used? As vendors race to jump on the "software defined" bandwagon, Storage Switzerland set out to explain the term, provide users with an understanding of how software defined storage can solve many of their current storage challenges and provide a way to decide which vendors are really delivering a software defined storage future.
  • Storage Implications for Storing File Data Securely in a Distributed World Recorded: Jun 12 2013 49 mins
    When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

    The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

    Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.
  • Managing All Aspects of Storage Operations Recorded: Jun 12 2013 29 mins
    Is your organization trying to contain costs as Big Data and other initiatives increase the demand for more storage? As the volumes of data continue to increase, so does the need for organizations to cost-effectively manage all their storage assets. In this webinar we will cover multiple options for managing storage. You will learn about discovery of storage assets across SAN, NAS, and multi-vendor platforms. We will discuss practical ways to use trending analysis, forecasting and optimization to cost-effectively address current and future growth requirements. Our discussion will also include an explanation of how integration with other solutions can lead to greater efficiencies through runbook automation as well as incident and configuration management.

  • Designing for Resilience and Security in Public Cloud Applications Recorded: Apr 17 2013 40 mins
    Public cloud providers offer better uptime and business continuity than most organisations can achieve on their own, despite well-publicised outages. But failing to plan for an outage, means you are planning to fail. At the center of this argument is the concept of designing for resilience: organisations should not hide from failure, but rather expose themselves to it early and often, in a way that allows them to learn quickly and build the right infrastructure to build reliability in an unreliable world.

    Join Paul Wallace, Director of Product at Riverbed Technology, as he discusses strategies that will help you design for resilience and security, and learn how to:

    * Prepare for unplanned cloud outages
    * Build a globally resilient cloud application
    * Avoid some of the most common mistakes when faced with a cloud outage
  • Aligning Cloud Infrastructure Within Your IT Strategy Recorded: Apr 17 2013 38 mins
