  6. Storage Cost per Desktop Analysis #NetAppSynergy

  7. Sizing Assumptions • Extrapolation based on NetApp performance testing for Citrix PVS & our VDI Sizing Tool • LoginVSI heavy workload (10 IOPS/desktop to storage; majority of read IOPS served by PVS read cache) • Apps latency within acceptable limits (VSIMaxnumber below 1500) • All VMs boot within 10 minutes • Capacity: 6GB-17GB per user (use case dependent) • 35% dedupe savings for Citrix Personal vDisk and CIFS share • IO Acceleration: • Writes: NetApp IO coalescing • Read IOPS: • FlashCache for CIFS read traffic • Citrix PVS caches majority of VM reads • NetApp controller utilization <50% during steady state #NetAppSynergy
