A new problem demands new ways of thinking

× Add more disks Memory

× Add more servers

× Add more memory

× Optimise the

application

THE LEGACY APPROACH

Performance

increases approx

60% per year

Performance

increases approx.

10% per year

Leads to increased complexity and costs

Storage

Storage capacity doubles

approx every 24 months,

yet performance

improvement is near 0

A simple solution, ioMemory

Virtual desktops with ioMemory

Real world VDI density example

HP BL460c gen8, 16 cores,192 GB RAM

with a 1.2 TB IO Accelerator II

Standard office worker, 6 GB space, 1 GB RAM:

+/- 175 desktops per blade

16 x 175 = 2800 desktops

in a 10U chassis

With 3 c7000s over 8.000 super desktops in 1 rack

• Ultimate desktop performance, happy users

• More desktops per server

• Fully separated from other servers and

applications

• Pricing scales linear forever

• Performance scales linear forever

• No expensive upfront SAN costs

• 10x lower power, cooling, space
