  12. SBC (TS/XenAPP) Terminal Server Terminal Server Hypervisor AD File Share Logging

  13. VDI 7 7 7 7 Hypervisor AD File Share Logging

  14. VSI workload (14 minute loop) • Office 2007: • Outlook, • Word, • PowerPoint • Excel • PDF printer & Adobe PDF • Internet Explorer (multiple sites + Flash Video) • FreeMind

  15. . Phase 1 & 2

  16. . Conclusions Phase 1 & 2 • Virtualization TS/XenApp: Yes we can! • Sweet spot = performance + licensing • Best-Practices • No vCPU overcommit + 2vCPU minimum • Dedicated Host / Reservation, Enforce vMMU! (x86 - vSphere) • Intel Nehalem/Westmere: impressive • Hyper-Threading + EPT-D = Doubling Capacity

  17. . Phase 3

  18. . Test platform Phase 3: VMware vSphere 4.x

  19. . VSI vs VRC Optimizations

  20. . VRC optimizations: Standard VSI Tuning

  21. . VRC optimizations: Extra Disabled Services

  22. . VRC optimizations: Scheduled Tasks

  23. “…Project VRC must emphasize that it is crucial to test and validate these optimizations in your own VDI deployment…”

  24. . VDI + Storage

  25. Understanding I/O • Windows XP • Windows 7 + VSI Optimizations • Windows 7 + VRC Optimizations

  26. Understanding I/O • Boot and Logon • First VSI loop • Second VSI loop • Idle + 6 Apps • Idle + No Apps

  27. Understanding I/O • Boot and Logon • First VSI loop • Second VSI loop • Idle + 6 Apps • Idle + No Apps

  28. Boot and Logon

  29. Boot and Logon; normalized

  30. Boot and Logon, Read vs Write I/O

  31. Understanding I/O • Boot and Logon • First VSI loop • Second VSI loop • Idle + 6 Apps • Idle + No Apps

  32. First VSI Loop

  33. First VSI Loop: normalized

  34. First VSI Loop, Read vs Write I/O

  35. . Understanding I/O • Boot and Logon • First VSI loop • Second VSI loop • Idle + 6 Apps • Idle + No Apps
