VDI: Simple Usage Model
User
User
Perspective
“I start my device, log on, and
expect the same experience I had with my physical
desktop environment.”
![Page 8: Ensure The Success of VMware Horizon View Deployments](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030307/58e7bda91a28abbb4e8b6311/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

User expectation is high: VDI performance same as physical desktop
The impact of failures is high:
Single failure can bring down hundreds of virtual desktops – but where is the problem?
Scaling of the rollout affects ROI:
Right sizing the VDI infrastructure is critical for ensuring VDI success
Performance of the service as rollout happens is often a barrier to the success of VDI initiatives
Performance Critical for VDI Success

Virtual Server Management Solutions Don’t Cut it For VDI
Virtual Server Management Solutions
Monitor the Virtualization platform only – not the connection brokers, storage, network, profile servers, terminal servers, …
Track VMs and not users:
No way to map a user to a VM
Workload of VM dependent on who is logged in
Monitor a desktop from the outside (black box):
No understanding of what is happening inside the desktop
What applications are running?
Is high CPU usage because of load or a faulting application?
Virtual Desktop Management = Virtual Server Management

It is important to have the right metrics
Look for domain expertise in VDI, collect the right metrics. Otherwise, it will be a case of “Garbage in, Garbage out”!

Preemptive detection & alerting lets administrators see and fix problems before users notice
• Auto-compute time-of-day baselines
• Alert administrators when metrics violate baselines

• Workload of the VM is user-dependent
• When a user complains, you need to know which physical server and VM they are on
• Need to know who the top users are for capacity planning
• User information required for billing, capacity planning
Poor user experience impacts VDI success. So focus on monitoring users, not just VMs!
