Why do we dedicate storage for applications?
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready5
Why we have dedicated storage for VDI
•Discovering how to integrate into existing infrastructure is very difficult
•Unpredictable and volatile VDI workloads (boot storm, patches)
•Inability to guarantee acceptable user experience
•Difficulty scaling existing storage assets from pilot/POC to production
•Scale-up storage model does not enable elastic scaling
•Complex desktop management & scheduled maintenance requirements for VDI

The Noisy Neighbor Effect
 Individual tenant impacts other applications
 Unsuitable for performance sensitive apps
SolidFire QoS in Practice
 Create fine-grained tiers of performance
 Application performance is isolated
 Performance SLAs enforced

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with SolidFire
Adaptable Infrastructure
Eliminate Storage Sprawl
Granular Scalability
Simplified VDI Administration
Lowest $/Desktop
The SolidFire Advantage
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready12
Adaptable Infrastructure
•Go from pilot to production and beyond
•Design for X and change to Y on the fly
•Adjust QoS controls to accommodate boot
storms, virus scans, patching and recompose
operations
•Share storage infrastructure with other workloads
(tenants), each with defined performance
parameters
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready13
Eliminate Storage Sprawl
•Extremely dense deployment with 1000+
desktops per node keeps footprint small
•Collapse multiple application silos to a true
shared storage infrastructure
•Fined grained QoS allows mixing of disparate
workloads without fear of noisy neighbor issues
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready14
Granular Scalability
•Incrementally add nodes to increase total
IOPS and capacity available to desktop pools
•Logically scale existing volumes to increase
performance and capacity on demand
•No forklift replacements when desktop
capacity is out grown
•No downtime required to scale environment
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready15
Simplified VDI Administration
•Provisioning storage to the broker software is as
simple as “how much?” and “how fast?”
•Speed up desktop provisioning and maintenance
•Automatically balance desktop workload across
the entire system eliminating hot spots
•Self-healing eliminates fire drills from failures
•SolidFire rolling upgrades do not mandate
outage window -> critical for mixed workload /
multitenant environments
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready16
Lowest $ per Desktop
•Inline data efficiency means all desktop profiles
are cost effective
•VDI storage costs under $50 / desktop
•Less than $1 per desktop IO
•Fit 1,000+ desktops per node = optimal data
center footprint

XenDesktop on SolidFire
Reference Architecture
 Strong User Experience
 Low $/Desktop
 Simplicity of Scale
 Design Adaptability
 Dedicated Performance with

  • 4. Why do we dedicate storage for applications?
  • 5. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready5 Why we have dedicated storage for VDI •Discovering how to integrate into existing infrastructure is very difficult •Unpredictable and volatile VDI workloads (boot storm, patches) •Inability to guarantee acceptable user experience •Difficulty scaling existing storage assets from pilot/POC to production •Scale-up storage model does not enable elastic scaling •Complex desktop management & scheduled maintenance requirements for VDI
  • 6. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready6 Wrangling I/O in VDI Multitenant Environments Delivering the flexibility & adaptability to enable large scale VDI deployments
  • 7. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready7 The Noisy Neighbor Effect  Individual tenant impacts other applications  Unsuitable for performance sensitive apps SolidFire QoS in Practice  Create fine-grained tiers of performance  Application performance is isolated  Performance SLAs enforced Noisy Neighbor Performance 0 Performance 1 Performance 2 Performance 3 Decreased Performance Eliminating Noisy (Desktop) Neighbors

  • 12. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready12 Adaptable Infrastructure •Go from pilot to production and beyond •Design for X and change to Y on the fly •Adjust QoS controls to accommodate boot storms, virus scans, patching and recompose operations •Share storage infrastructure with other workloads (tenants), each with defined performance parameters
  • 13. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready13 Eliminate Storage Sprawl •Extremely dense deployment with 1000+ desktops per node keeps footprint small •Collapse multiple application silos to a true shared storage infrastructure •Fined grained QoS allows mixing of disparate workloads without fear of noisy neighbor issues
  • 14. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready14 Granular Scalability •Incrementally add nodes to increase total IOPS and capacity available to desktop pools •Logically scale existing volumes to increase performance and capacity on demand •No forklift replacements when desktop capacity is out grown •No downtime required to scale environment
  • 15. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready15 Simplified VDI Administration •Provisioning storage to the broker software is as simple as “how much?” and “how fast?” •Speed up desktop provisioning and maintenance •Automatically balance desktop workload across the entire system eliminating hot spots •Self-healing eliminates fire drills from failures •SolidFire rolling upgrades do not mandate outage window -> critical for mixed workload / multitenant environments
  • 16. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready16 Lowest $ per Desktop •Inline data efficiency means all desktop profiles are cost effective •VDI storage costs under $50 / desktop •Less than $1 per desktop IO •Fit 1,000+ desktops per node = optimal data center footprint
