What is Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI)?
Cisco VXI is an end-to-end system that spans three architectures: Borderless Networks, Collaboration, and Data Center/Virtualization, to deliver a fully virtualized collaborative workspace. VXI enables IT organizations, business owners, and end-users to benefit from the convergence of virtual desktops and media-rich collaborative applications, hosted by Cisco's data center fabric and delivered across a pervasive, secure and efficient networking infrastructure to any device, anywhere. This provides users a converged virtual desktop that embraces the suite of communications tools that workers depend on today without sacrificing user experience.
VXI de-risks the move to the fully virtualized collaborative workspace, by providing an end-to-end system and roadmap that’s underpinned by Cisco Validated Designs, enabling organizations to move from small pilots to large scale production, with consistent performance, and predictable results.
What is Desktop Virtualization and VDI?
Desktop virtualization is a mainstream IT initiative designed to improve the flexibility and security of traditional desktops, while reducing costs. VDI, the fastest growing desktop virtualization model is estimated by Gartner to grow by 56 million desktops between 2012 and 2014. VDI abstracts the operating system, applications, and user profile settings traditionally associated with a user’s desktop, and delivers a virtualized instance of the desktop, hosted on a server-based virtual machine from within a data center infrastructure.
Cisco has partnered with desktop virtualization leaders, Citrix and VMware to deliver optimized desktop virtualization infrastructure solutions based on Cisco UCS, as a pillar of the broader Cisco VXI cross architecture initiative.
What are the Benefits of Cisco Data Center Fabric for VXI?
Cisco's Data Center Fabric and Cisco UCS are ideally suited to hosting desktop virtualization, and form a key pillar of the broader VXI solution by offering:
A highly scalable data center fabric that delivers consistent application performance and user experience from hundreds of users through thousands of users
A simplified IT operational model that enables the rapid deployment and scaling of virtual desktops with greater efficiency and reduced cost
A more secure, controlled environment that ensures desktop workloads are isolated from mission-critical enterprise applications, while enabling virtual-machine level policy
