VDI Historical Overview
Desktop virtualization is a software technology that separates the desktop environment and associated application software from the physical client device that is used to access it.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is the modern version of the thin client movement of the 1990's.

VDI Storage Elements…
Performance & Availability are key attributes
Backup & Replication important in persistent desktop cases
Optimized for WRITE heavy workloads
How much space: 5-25GB / user
Capacity & Availability are important
Needs to be replicated & protected frequently
Optimized for capacity over performance
How much space: 10-100GB / user
CORE OS & APPLICATIONS USER & GROUP FILE DATA

Answering the important questions…Why is VDI always WRITE Heavy?
• Windows constantly caches READ activity to the file-system cache• WRITES don’t get same benefits, and HAVE to be committed to disk
Why does this matter?
So what does this mean?
• All writes need to be “protected”• Standard methods of RAID apply 2-6x overhead
• If most of the activity is WRITE, and needs to be protected…then…• VDI solutions have to be optimized for heavy WRITE workloads

Users are accustomed to dedicated local
drives
VDI places users into a shared
container
Storage is often the enemy of performance
Waste of money to keep adding
spindles just to get more IOPS
Faster storage arrays are costly
and still have limits
Old-school remedies are
inefficient
The 15K drive is as good as it gets
Physics get in the way and the drives
self-destruct
Spinning hard drives can’t go
any faster
