Regardless of your role in the workspace virtualization efforts your organization can most probably appreciate the challenges the following scenario.
A newly formed virtualization team has run the floor, to meet, to create a virtual desktop environment and newly re-architect. Over the next 12 to 18 months, through rapid organic growth and a series of strategic acquisitions, your business will almost triple the user base of 3,000 employees to 8,000 plus. The rapid growth is off a huge burden on the performance and stability of a clearly suboptimal virtual desktop environment in its infancy.
Plagued by the latency and performance of this environment, the desktop virtualization effort is in user acceptance, adoption, and most suffer critically in "user experience."
The unprecedented growth for your business is also your enterprise storage to capacity as the desktop virtualization for more than 70% of this use will bring Account. Critical decisions must be made regarding the need to provide a significant amount of SAN storage with projects outside the VDI to move forward to buy, and to provide space for a revamped disaster recovery site available. tend By DR strategy towards a true active-active data center design, the necessary capacity will be considerable. Along with the challenges above, you will also need a solution virtual workspace that. The scalability and flexibility offered for future growth
This challenging scenario was a reality for Nation Star Mortgage, just outside of Dallas, Texas.
Nationstar a leading servicer of mortgages in the United States with a presence in the market originations as well. At Citrix Synergy 2015 I is that I have the opportunity to share a bit of our history and some of the technologies and strategies we are discussing have used to meet these challenges.
When one of the engineers in our virtualization and new technologies group at Nation Star, I'll share how we used the Atlantis ILIO software defined storage solution to complement our Citrix XenApp environment:
- Successfully implement a stateless and diskless virtual desktop solution.
- from a legacy migrate to the next generation XenApp architecture.
- Dramatic improvement in performance and stability
- They eliminate the need for additional large storage costs
- reallocate 70% of the higher level storage XenApp back into the organization
- offload 100% of VDI related IOPS of SAN storage into the RAM
- consistently improve from above 2 minutes logon times 15-20 seconds to
- implementing a virtualization solution that can be scaled in a modular and consistent manner
We are also some of the gotchas and setbacks on our trip, including some of the following points:
- challenges with some of the write-cache really bring options in PVS 7.X
- What does a diskless XenApp published desktop with it?
- Go to optimize fine line between performance and the maintenance of stability
- Special Considerations with a simple in memory XenApp Atlantis ILIO model
you are currently facing challenges in any of the above aspects of desktop virtualization? I hope that our breakout session SYN112: How Nation Star Mortgage $ 1,300,000 on desktop virtualization, by their approach have saved for storage and disaster recovery, you can in your Citrix and workstation virtualization journey can in Citrix and Computer virtualization help support travel.
