Hello,
Hoping the community here can assist and provide some suggestions or recommendations to improve my end user experceing using View and 3D Applications. Below are the details of my environment.
View Host:
Cisco C240-M3S
ESXi 6.0.0-3620759
GRID K1 Card - Host Driver 361.45.09
VM Config:
Win 7
12GB RAM
2 vCPU
K160Q Profile
Application utilizing inside the guest OS of the VM is Autodesk Revit and Plant3D.
User Access:
User is accessing the VM using the 4.0.1 Horizon View Client over a 6MB MPLS connection. Ping times from the uses location to where the VM is hosted is 15-17MS.
Endpoint Site:
5min Average traffic In: 275.2 kb/s
5min Average traffic Out: 174.1 kb/s.
Datacenter where the VM is hosted has a 50MB MPLS connection.
5min Average traffic In: 7675.9 kb/s
5min Average traffic Out: 29.6 Mb/s
Group Policy PCoIP Session Variables:
Set the Image Cache Size in Megabytes: 500MB
Set the Minimum Image Quality value (default value: 50): 50
Set the Maximum Initial Image Quality value (default value: 90): 100
Set the Maximum Frame Rate value (default value: 30): 100
Use image settings from zero client if available: disabled
Set PCoIP session bandwidth floor in kilobits per second to: 128
Enable/disable audio in the PCoIP session: Enabled
Enable/disable microphone noise and DC offset filter in PCoIP session: Enabled
Turn off Build-to-Lossless feature: Enabled
User experiences choppyness or delays when attempting to rotate the model in the 3D view. I understand that tweeking these settings is an art. I am not seeing any latency on the backend storage where this VM resides, which we are running a hybrid box with Fusion IO cards for QoS on the storage side.
Looking forward to suggestions from the community on helping improve my users experience utilizing 3D applications via VMware View. I have also been looking at upgrading to View 7 to see if the Blast Protocol would provide better performance over the traditional PCoIP protocol.
Thank You
