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
• Full customization

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.”

Scalability - Desktops
• Our generic recommendation: 3750 desktops per X2 X-Brick
• In reality, this number can be more …– (or less)
• Appropriate sizing needs to take into account:– Capacity Usage– Steady State IOPS– Maintenance Operations– Deployment Model– Co-habiting workloads
