15 Dell EMC SC Series: 3,000 VMware Horizon Linked Clone VDI Users | 4735-RA-V
4.1.1 Boot phase
The time required to boot up all VMs is less critical since it rarely happens in a production environment. It
would typically only happen during a complete system outage, or a complete image replacement for all VMs.
The performance during the boot phase is shown in Figure 1.
Performance during boot phase
The total IOPS achieved are just under 300,000, with an average latency of under 800 microseconds.
4.1.2 Login
The login cycle is set to one login per second until all VMs are logged in. Once VMs are logged in, they start
the workload, so the login load overlays the steady-state workload until all users are running the workload.
The following sections detail the various phases of the test run.
