XenServer Scalabilitiy – Performance Tuning
In field we noticed performance issues within a particular VDI environment in terms of the amount of virtual machines the costumer was able to start on their XenServer hosts, as well as a bad performance within the user-sessions. In that particular environment it was not possible to have more than 60-65 Machines operated on one XenServer host. With a higher count of machines we recognized that the ...

XenDesktop or VDI-in-a-Box? How to choose?
When beginning to think about desktop virtualization, you have two great options in either XenDesktop or VDI-in-a-Box, yet how do you choose? Is it a matter of cost, environment size, features, and/or other factors? Kumar Goswami, VP for our VDI-in-a-Box product, briefly talks about the topic in a blog post at http://blogs.citrix.com/2011/12/01/citrix-vdi-in-a-box-v5-is-now-here-%E2%80%A6-give-it-a-go/. He writes that “If you need simple VDI use ViaB. Otherwise go with ...

RSC and the Impact on XenServer Scalability
It's been a couple months since my last article on PVD, but I promise I haven't been slacking - I'm officially a father! So I took a few weeks "off" (if you want to call it that), but now I'm back, better than ever and have something pretty cool I'd like to share with the community. Over the last month or so, I've been working on ...
