Virtual SAN and Horizon 6.0 A Powerful Combination

In today’s mobile-cloud era, end users are employing multiple device types; accessing new, non-Windows applications; and storing data in public clouds. Yet IT must continue to provide the security, data integrity, and compliance demanded by the business. More and more, enterprises are deploying virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to reduce the complexity and risk associated with end user computing.

However, VDI poses design and management challenges when it comes to performance, cost, and service levels. One of the most critical VDI cost and performance drivers is storage. To provide a positive end-user experience with consistent performance despite spikes in demand, you need to provision storage for peak loads: a potentially expensive proposition. However, keeping costs in check can lead to underprovisioning and unacceptable performance.
