What kind of ratio are you seeing for clients to array with VDI. And are you doing anything intensive with your desktops or are they just normal business apps? I really want to use VDI in the future when we can finally start doing OS refreshes.

You mentioned virtual machines... one thing that will eat up iops like nothing else is if you start doing vdi on top of the virtual machines. If so, measure carefully with San HQ and move slowly so that you don't max out the array. -Anders On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 9:06 PM, Steve Ens <[email protected]> wrote: Anyone have experience running the SATA option in the equallogic P4000 series? My vendor is quoting me the exact same price for SATA (16TB) as he is for 7.2TB of SAS. I'll be running snapshots, virtual machines and such off the SAN. Any experience with these models? My other option is the HP P4000 G2 series. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
