For desktop
virtualization to be successful, virtual desktops must deliver an
equivalent user experience to a physical PC at a comparable cost per
desktop. Traditionally, storage accounts for 40–60% of the total cost of
a virtual desktop, which results in a cost per desktop that is 2–4
times more than a physical PC. In addition, deploying desktop
virtualization with traditional storage or SSDs makes storage sizing,
scaling, and management complex, and introduces significant risks to
your projects.
Citrix has
partnered with GlassHouse Technologies and Atlantis Computing to
develop an optimized reference architecture that delivers on the
business objectives of reducing cost and providing a user experience
that is superior to a physical PC.
Join us to
learn how the recently released Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Hyper-V and
Atlantis ILIO Diskless VDI reference architecture enables Citrix
XenDesktop customers to:
• Eliminate storage and SSDs for virtual desktop images
• Lower the cost per desktop to $195 including the server hardware and Atlantis ILIO license
• Achieve a density of 140 virtual machines per server
• Deliver a user experience with Windows 7 boot time of 16 seconds - under 1 second application launch times
• Easily handle a boot storm of 140 desktop boot storm in 6 minutes (2.5 seconds/desktop)
