How should the VDI architecture be designed for resource load?
Ensuring that adequate resources are designed into a new virtual desktop infrastructure design is one of the most critical factors for success. The key to doing so is assessing the existing desktop CPU, storage, networking and memory usage patterns in the organization. Metrics should be monitored and collected over a sufficient timeframe (two to four weeks) from representative samplings of the desktop population to form a performance baseline for each category of user class. In addition, every application should be tested within the VDI environment to ensure it performs adequately and correctly.
