This reference architecture is based on real-world test scenarios, user workloads, and infrastructure system configurations. It uses the VCE Vblock Specialized System for Extreme Applications, composed of Cisco UCS server blades and EMC XtremIO flash storage, to support a 7,000-user VMware Horizon View 5.2 deployment.
Extensive user-experience and operations testing, including Login VSI desktop performance benchmark testing on over 80,000 desktops, revealed world-class operational performance. A simple design architecture and efficient use of storage preserved ease of use at an attractive price point. The results are summarized here and further described later in this paper.
