The Secret Life of Virtual Desktops

• Every idle second Windows flushes the pagefile to disk x1000!

• That’s 1000MB/s or 8Gb/s. Time to upgrade my network to 10G!

• Idle disk access can bring a VDI network to it’s knees

Traditional SAN

This is just 1000 Desktops.

Imagine an entire workforce all accessing disk at the same time
