This document provides best practices for using Dell EMC PowerStore with VMware Horizon virtual desktops. The PowerStore platform offers optimal flexibility and resiliency. PowerStore layers protocols and services on a flexible, container-based architecture, ensuring that features and services can be added to existing installations with minimal impact. This paper discusses the benefits of a unified storage product that combines block and file services into a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) platform. PowerStore allows expansion of both functionality and capacity to protect storage investments.
