Performance Results 

The objective of the test case was to determine whether a UCS C240 M3 server equipped with 12 hot-swappable 

10K RPM SAS drives and a Cisco Nytro MegaRAID controller could provide excellent end-user experience for up 

to 200 Citrix XenDesktop 7.1 Machine Creation Services provisioned Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 virtual desktops 

running on Citrix XenServer 6.2 and the required infrastructure to support them.  

In order to determine the end-user experience with the hypervisor, infrastructure and virtual desktop users 

exercising the system simultaneously, we generated a Login VSImax score by loading the system with 250 virtual 

desktops and users. 

Login VSI does not take into account the stress on the physical servers during the test (CPU, memory, network, 

nor storage.)  

For that reason, we re-run the end-user experience tests taking into account those physical server factors to 

determine the maximum recommended virtual desktop workload for the system. 

Login VSImax 

Once we determined the Login VSImax, we perform three consecutive test runs generating the same result to 

insure integrity of the result. 

To reach the Login VSImax, we ran 230 Medium Workload (with flash) Windows 7 SP1 sessions on a single 

server. The Login VSI score was confirmed by three consecutive runs and is shown in Figure 10 below.
