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.
