VDI on Cisco UCS E-seriesVMware Rapid Desktop Program validation

VMware Rapid Desktop Appliances

• Validation testing was performed on a UCSE-160D with SSD drives

• The UCS E hosted VDI infrastructure and desktop components

• For the validated design 25 virtual desktops were deployed and tested with a heavy

knowledge worker profile

• This design also applies to a deployment of up to 50 desktops in a branch or remote office scenario

• Test tools used for validation were VMware
