Solution Description
Challenge
Performance and quality end-user experience can be an issue in large virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. Small changes can have a big impact. For example, a single desktop might execute 15 to 20 input/output (I/O), which the infrastructure can easily support. Adding one more desktop doubles the input/output operations per second (IOPS) requirement on the infrastructure. An enterprise virtual desktop rollout involves thousands of desktops, increasing IOPS by orders of magnitude.
Technology Solution
EMC Desktop Virtualization Solutions with VMware View use a “Flash-first” strategy to help guarantee a quality desktop experience at scale, enabling EMC solutions to leverage EMC Flash drives and EMC fully automated storage tiering (FAST) cache. FAST cache extends system cache by up to 2 terabytes, keeping desktops responsive even during unexpected peaks in workloads.
Desktop Virtualization solutions with VMware View increase scalability in VDI environments. In a test of 1,000 VMware View desktops, EMC VNX with FAST cache demonstrated the ability to boot 1,000 desktops in under eight minutes.
EMC offers comprehensive disaster avoidance and recovery and backup and recovery for virtual desktops. Tight integration between EMC VNX, VMware View, and VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager enables organizations to extend disaster recovery protection to all desktops.
