IOPS? No, it’s not where you go to get pancakes. Last night we were joined by two all-stars in VDI sizing and had an awesome audience conversation around VDI and it’s potential impact on storage. What follows is the video and some selected bits from the chat.
The Video
ProfessionalVMware BrownBags – VDI & Storage Impacts from ProfessionalVMware on Vimeo.
The Links
Well, honestly, when I wrote the post I thought they were there. Seemingly gotowebinar ate them. If you were on the BrownBag last night, drop a line in the comments with any of the formulas and sizing links (raid penalty’s etc) that you found useful. Sorry.
Hi Cody!
This was indeed a great BrownBag session about VDI (“How David Slayed Goliath – The impact of VDI of Enterprise Storage”).
Congrats to you, Michael Letschin and Jon Spallone!
I didn’t save the output of the chat session, so I don’t have the formulas that were pasted there, unfortunately.
However, regarding the links given at the end of the session, luckily I had done a “screenshot” of it and I transcribed them now. Here they are:
