These benefits can be achieved through the use of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) powered by VMware vSAN. Selecting the right storage for your virtual desktops provides multiple benefits such as high availability, a good user experience, and minimal cost.
Storage is a primary consideration that has a direct impact on TCO, user experience, and other advantages provided by VDI. Reliable network connections are required to ensure users can get connected and stay connected. This helps lower the cost per desktop by minimizing the number of hosts needed to run a given number of virtual desktops. vSphere has led the pack for many years in terms of consolidation ratios (number of VMs per physical host).
VMware vSphere as the hypervisor for a VDI environment provides an excellent compute foundation. One of the keys to a good VDI user experience is the underlying compute and storage infrastructure. HCI Makes a Great Foundation for Virtual Desktops
It is great to see solutions such as Horizon and VMware Workspace ONE being used more and more. She is logging on to a VMware Horizon virtual desktop from her MacBook Pro to securely access a Windows desktop where she writes and runs those SQL queries. As an example, I just saw my daughter writing SQL queries for a class she is taking online at Ohio University. No vSAN Storage option with a mix of Win 7, 8 and 10.Working remotely through the use of virtual desktops is more prevalent than ever before. Storage System is HPE Nimble HF60 with 118 usable HDD and 16TB SSD. VMware vSAN is supported in hot-add and network modes only, but VMware’s VDI licensing inclusion of ESXi is on the condition no other workloads run on the ESXi host, so you’ll be restricted to network backup mode if you’re planning on using these.Īside from this, what is the intended deployment of VMware Horizon? RDS / Win 10? Instant Clones, Linked Clones, Agents? Etc Veeam licensing won’t be the only consideration here though, you’ve not made any mention of what storage you’ll be using so I’d like to highlight one of the go to storage systems for VDI: VMware vSAN. You can then leverage tags to determine what must be backed up. Your Veeam licensing can be done per socket or per instance, I’d recommend per instance due to the amount of redundant data copies within a VMware Horizon environment, you’d be fully featured but it would be cheaper. It would be difficult to have an official support for it as there are so many varied deployments and that will vary dramatically what can be protected. Unlike some other applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Veeam don’t have official “application support” for VMware Horizon.
