Figure 11: Memory utilization for one ESX View Client Cluster Host during 1014 non-persistent desktop test
Figure 12 shows disk latencies for read and write operations, as measured from the ESX host, averaged
for the seven volumes under test. As shown in the figure, disk latency stayed well within 20ms on
average. Figure 13 shows the iSCSI read and write network data rates during the same test period. The
network utilization was low, with ESX hosts using approximately 35% of the total available bandwidth
for iSCSI SAN traffic.
