Microsoft testing the added value of Hyper-V for VDI using Login VSI
Choosing a hypervisor for deploying a VDI solution involves a number of important considerations, each of which can be fulfilled by using Microsoft's Hyper-V 2008 R2 SP1 hypervisor-based virtualization technology. When implemented together with the Microsoft System Center family of products and desktop virtualization technologies from partners, organizations can build integrated VDI solutions that can meet the needs of your business while keeping costs under control.
VDI capacity testing now less complex and up to 100.000 users.
Amsterdam, December 15, 2010 - Login Consultants releases Login VSI 3.0; the latest version of their testing and benchmarking tool for virtualized desktop infrastructures. Already Login VSI is seen as the industry standard by major players in the desktop virtualization market, including Cisco, Citrix, HP, Intel and Microsoft. Login VSI is now available.
Login Consultants and PQR have released their latest Project VRC whitepaper. This time Windows XP and Windows 7 are closely compared and tips and tricks are given to boost the performance of your virtualized Windows desktops.
This is the first public beta release of the new Login VSI 3.0. In this Beta3 release the Login VSI workload is considerably improved and the Login VSI Analyzer is now much more intelligent than the Excel sheet used in the previous 2.x releases. There are no major functional changes planned to both the Login VSI workload and the Analyzer (apart from smaller optimizations and bugfixes) for the official VSI 3.0 release.
Citrix released a whitepaper that helps customers to use Login VSI to thoroughly test XenDesktop. The worldwide consulting team of Citrix that created this whitepaper is using Login VSI as their tool of choice to run all sorts of tests against their product to advise Citrix' customers. The XenDesktop development team is also actively using the possibilities of Login VSI to stress not only XenDesktop but also stress Login VSI to its max by initiating more than 5000 sessions in a few minutes.
