Virtual Desktop / VDI Calculator
15. September 2010 by Tony.
The VDI calculator is targeted for VMware View designs, however you can use the calculator for any VDI running on top of vSphere infrastructure. Please leave your comments or questions below.Recommended Practices to follow:
Number of Desktop Pools: it will ERR more than 512 VM’s per pool.
Concurrent Users: Concurrent users is different from Number of VMs
%Used memory: 80%
%Shared Memory: 40% or 50% (if all desktops running same OS)
Host redundancy: No host redundancy is included in the calculations
Fill all fields as they somewhat relate to each other.

plug-and-play VDI
3. September 2010 by Tony.
Kaviza, the folks that won the “Best of Synergy 2010″ award in the Business Efficiency cateogy, have just released “VDI-in-a-box 3.0″ featuring Citrix HDX technology and full support for XenServer. It’s a simple plug-and-play desktop virtualization solution designed specifically for SMEs and departmental budgets. Since it doesn’t require shared storage or multiple management servers, Kaviza says VDI-in-a-box 3.0 can deliver virtual desktops at a total cost of under $500 per user (minimum 25 users). And since Kaviza is licensed to use Citrix HDX technology, VDI-in-a-box delivers an uncompromised “high definition” user experience. Kudos to Kaviza!
