4. Why do we dedicate storage for applications?
5. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready5
Why we have dedicated storage for VDI
•Discovering how to integrate into existing infrastructure is very difficult
•Unpredictable and volatile VDI workloads (boot storm, patches)
•Inability to guarantee acceptable user experience
•Difficulty scaling existing storage assets from pilot/POC to production
•Scale-up storage model does not enable elastic scaling
•Complex desktop management & scheduled maintenance requirements for VDI

Individual tenant impacts other applications
Unsuitable for performance sensitive apps

Eliminate Storage Sprawl
Granular Scalability
Simplified VDI Administration
Lowest $/Desktop
The SolidFire Advantage
12. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready12
Adaptable Infrastructure
•Go from pilot to production and beyond
•Design for X and change to Y on the fly
•Adjust QoS controls to accommodate boot
storms, virus scans, patching and recompose
operations
•Share storage infrastructure with other workloads
(tenants), each with defined performance
parameters
13. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready13
Eliminate Storage Sprawl
•Extremely dense deployment with 1000+
desktops per node keeps footprint small
•Collapse multiple application silos to a true
shared storage infrastructure
•Fined grained QoS allows mixing of disparate
workloads without fear of noisy neighbor issues
14. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready14
Granular Scalability
•Incrementally add nodes to increase total
IOPS and capacity available to desktop pools
•Logically scale existing volumes to increase
performance and capacity on demand
•No forklift replacements when desktop
capacity is out grown
•No downtime required to scale environment
15. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready15
Simplified VDI Administration
•Provisioning storage to the broker software is as
simple as “how much?” and “how fast?”
•Speed up desktop provisioning and maintenance
•Automatically balance desktop workload across
the entire system eliminating hot spots
•Self-healing eliminates fire drills from failures
•SolidFire rolling upgrades do not mandate
outage window -> critical for mixed workload /
multitenant environments
16. © 2014 Citrix. Confidential. Citrix Ready16
Lowest $ per Desktop
•Inline data efficiency means all desktop profiles
are cost effective
•VDI storage costs under $50 / desktop
•Less than $1 per desktop IO
•Fit 1,000+ desktops per node = optimal data
center footprint
