Linked Clones& XtremIO
Deployment Flexibility
No more nights and weekends run active desktops on XtremIO while quickly recomposing/refreshing desktops concurrently
Simple storage design
But if you used Linked Clones only to reduce capacity footprint
Minimum Admin Management No need for one-size-fits-all
No for unproven tools & new operations
No need for complex storage design
Superior storage reduction
Maximum Happy Users Fast performing desktops

Challenges
Use Case: 1,500 Horizon View Desktops running 2,500 applications
Virtual desktop provisioning and infrastructure management
More than 2,500 applications to manage and patch
User complaints due to slow desktops and applications
Storage used was less than desired

Results
Use Case: 1,500 Horizon View Desktops running 2,500 applications
User experience on virtual desktops surpasses that of physical desktops
150 40GB full clones created in less than 60 minutes (an 18x improvement)
1,500 full clone desktops fit in less than 7TB of flash
It used to require eight minutes to deploy one 40GB virtual desktop image using traditional disk storage. By comparison, with XtremIO it takes 17 seconds. It blew our mind.

AppVolumes Performance RequirementsAppVolumes performs one of the key functions of the just in time desktop delivery model
Comparing native delivery vs. AppVolumes performance requirementsConfirming the need for increased performance density (AppStacks are read intensive) similar to trade offs encountered with Linked ClonesNumbers show higher IOPS requirements and these are for a more concentrated data set also
