VMware View 5 Performance and Best Practices

The combination of View 5 and vSphere 5 deliver significant improvements in user experience and consolidation ratios, while at the same time delivering significant reductions in bandwidth consumption. This paper highlights how enhancements to View’s PCoIP lossless compression algorithm and support for client-side image caching in combination deliver up to 75% bandwidth reduction in both WAN and LAN conditions when compared with the previous release of View.

Further this paper illustrates how, across all network configurations, View 5 delivers improved user experience compared with other VDI solution, while consuming significantly less bandwidth and CPU resources than Microsoft RDP7 and comparable bandwidth to Citrix HDX.

Finally, while the View 5 PCoIP protocol dynamically adapts to changing network and CPU constraints, ensuring great experience out-of-the-box, this paper lists a number of environment variables and VDI best practices that ensure users can get the most out of their VDI environment.
