Why you should move your VDI to Windows 8

DABCC

Citrix: Designing your Desktop Virtualization Architecture

If you have ever used Sysinternals’ Process Monitor, chances are high you were a little intimidated when you looked at your first capture: it probably contained hundreds of thousands registry and file system events, generated in a minute or less. That amount of activity must surely indicate high system load – but strangely, very often […]

IOPs and Virtual Desktops

DABCC
There always seems to be confusion when talking about IOPs and virtual desktops (VDI). I often have people tell me their users do 40-50 IOPs. My next question is “what is the read/write ratio?”, which is often followed by a deer-in-head-lights look. What does it mean to say a user does 40 IOPs? Is that […]
