  6. Storage Cost per Desktop Analysis #NetAppSynergy

  7. Sizing Assumptions • Extrapolation based on NetApp performance testing for Citrix PVS & our VDI Sizing Tool • LoginVSI heavy workload (10 IOPS/desktop to storage; majority of read IOPS served by PVS read cache) • Apps latency within acceptable limits (VSIMaxnumber below 1500) • All VMs boot within 10 minutes • Capacity: 6GB-17GB per user (use case dependent) • 35% dedupe savings for Citrix Personal vDisk and CIFS share • IO Acceleration: • Writes: NetApp IO coalescing • Read IOPS: • FlashCache for CIFS read traffic • Citrix PVS caches majority of VM reads • NetApp controller utilization <50% during steady state #NetAppSynergy

  8. Non Persistent Desktops Hosted Shared Desktops (XenApp) • Mandatory Profiles • Redirected Folders 1 $33-$75/user* Hosted Shared Desktops (XenApp) • Profile Management • Redirected Folders 2 Pooled Streamed Desktops (1 VM/user) • Local Profiles • Redirected Folders 3 Pooled Streamed Desktops (1 VM/user) • Profile Management • Redirected Folders 4 * Assumes standard discounts Price includes 3 yr support/services w/ 4 hr parts replacement DS4243 shelves with 600GB 15K RPM disks FAS3250 config includes two 512GB FlashCache cards CIFS shares included #NetAppSynergy
