Hi Community!
We are looking at and testing VDI solutions for software developers and ended up testing with a Dell R730 with an Nvidia K1 gpu. We are currently evaluating wich hardware we should consider to give our users a flaless desktop feeling. On our current setup we were able to get equal or better results with clinical benchmarks like the current physical development machines. When we start doing some tests with realistic productive scenarios we experience that the physical machine still outperforms the vm by far.
We are using Horizon 7 on dell hardware, could you give me any hardware recommendations what kind of server would be needed to get similar "real" performance on a VM?
How many cpus of which type should we get for a 10 user server?
Which graphics card is needed for seemles performance if also mobile and web development is done? (a S7150x2 maybe?)
Can the connection server and the vCenter server run as virtual machines on the same server as the whole VDI solution or should these run on different hardware?
Any recommendations will be welcome.
Thanks,
Hubertus
