19 Dell EMC SC Series: 3,000 VMware Horizon Linked Clone VDI Users | 4735-RA-V
Summary
The testing described in this document shows that in a VDI deployment, the SC7020 array has performance
to spare even under a heavy load. The additional performance available allows maintenance to be run or
additional users to be added without compromising performance.
The user load of 3,000 VMs at 54 IOPS per user is conservative for this platform. There is considerable
performance headroom available, allowing additional users to be added, or other workload types to run on the
same array. This flexibility allows storage arrays to have multiple uses and not be dedicated to only VDI.
