First OEM to adopt PCoIP as desktop to datacenter protocol

PC-over-IP (PCoIP) is a remote display • Host rendering protocol for delivering remote desktops and • Intelligent Image applications developed by Teradici. decomposition & ClearCube became the first OEM partner for encryption • Dynamic network PCoIP with Teradici in 2006 incorporating it in adaptation both our zero clients and host adapters for our secure remote access Blade PCs. In 2008, VMware licensed Teradici's PCoIP protocol and supports it in VMware Horizon. ClearCube remains the longest tenured manufacturer with the most experience implementing the protocol solving business problems in the Teradici partner universe. Widely accepted by Information Assurance Officers, PCoIP protocol encrypts pixel transfers with advanced security algorithms including AES-256 and NSA Suite B cryptography. Zero clients have no operating system to patch, manage or STIG, and no user-writable storage so they are very secure on the high- side networks. Some models have an optional integrated card reader to support NIPR CAC and/ or SIPR Token.

Distributed (X86) server environments over-consume

Power, cooling, space, IT staff time, bandwidth, CAPEX, and OPEX Need to streamline CAPEX

Maximize IT staff efficiency

Reverse hardware sprawl

Optimize desktop & datacenter utilization

Simplify management

Increase organizational agility

Disaster Recovery/ COOP

Insider Threat

Cloud Computing

Increase hardware utilization by consolidation

Maintains workload capacity and performance

Simplifies management- in the datacenter- not at the desktop

Improves efficiency of provisioning, monitoring, servicing, managing, securing, bench-stocking and lifecycle management of the systems

Reduces amount of IT staff time for infrastructure administration

Enables hardware standardization

Unifies the shared model for power, cooling, and security (everyone has same type of access device versus some users with distributed desktops which can be “targeted” based on their work and mission requirements.)

Provides pathway to the Cloud and DaaS – The user access device stays the same as consolidation increases and applications & services are delivered differently moving into the future.

24.9%1 to 46%2 reduction in annual IT infrastructure cost per user

Main savings buckets are IT staff time, resources, hardware (server 50% / network 50%), and facility utilization (57%)

Blades reduce physical deployment by 75.1% and system setup and configuration by 46.1%

Wire once, change-ready nature reduces set-up and configuration time up to 46%1 to 70%2

Reduced hardware and energy-efficient technology reduces power and cooling more than 37%1 to 76%2

1. VDI 2. CDI

Combination of zero clients, blade PCs and virtualization to yield a total of 41.9%3 additional cost savings

Benefits include flexibility, agility, more control over the virtual layer between the OS/application layer and the underlying hardware

IT also found saving in reductions of licensing fees and IT tool costs

 Pooling of systems based on occupancy rates, or application usage  CVDI for training environments to provide flexible course delivery from text to GPU intensive work loads based on course content and training room needs.

3. Blended savings VDI and CDI (IDC)

Automating the key management processes make day-to-day maintenance tasks easier translating into real savings

IT resources can focus on value-added initiatives Physical and virtual resources can be managed in the same way and resource provisioning can be automated Problem management can be reduced up to 52.3%3 and maintenance reduced by 49.4%3 Unplanned downtime leading to interruptions of business operations and revenue loss reduced dramatically Average number of annual service incidents experienced in a traditional distributed environment can be reduced by 76% 3 Built-in intelligence, embedded configuration and provisioning tools streamline set-up, configuration, upgrades, updates, diagnostics and self-healing

CLEARCUBE SOLUTIONS DISTRIBUTED PC PROBLEMS OFFER…

Heat & noise at the user desktop Quiet & ergonomic user environment

Data and physical assets exposed Hard drives and physical PC in a secure data center

PC management is cumbersome Easier deployment of PCs and quicker Return-To-Service (RTS)

Desktop management is costly Strong ROI and increased productivity by allowing staff to focus more time on critical activities of the organization

PC’s are not energy efficient 55% greater energy efficiency than comparable desktop workstations. When virtualized this can increase more than 5X.

Large file transfers over LAN / WAN All processing occurs in the datacenter with very short hops and big pipes; pixels only sent to the endpoints

Very tough security SLAs & “intense” audits Mass Storage Lockout; centralized secure datacenter; no distribution of packets outside of datacenter

Remote access costly and complicated ClearCube built for remote access from the ground up; end-to-end

Licensing for specialized applications is very Sharing exclusive applications is very easy expensive (SOP is often everyone has their with connection brokering and multiple users own license) access to individual resources delivers huge savings

Business is cyclical with huge spikes and Centralized datacenter allows for agile very skinny lows outsourcing and adding unique skillsets is much easier and faster; or adding many seats rapidly is quite easy.

Specialized labor is really expensive Faster communication; faster computing resources; faster rendering; easier collaboration; more efficient use of labor © 2015 ClearCube Technology 20 USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB REQUIREMENTS
