The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the performance of Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 rackmount servers and a Dell EMC PowerStore 9000T model appliance when hosting a high-density VMware Horizon 8 VDI workload. Eleven identically configured PowerEdge R6525 rackmount hosts are used for the VDI workload, with 25 GbE Ethernet for file and 25 GbE iSCSI for the storage fabric. A Dell EMC PowerStore 9000T model appliance is used for backend storage for block and file.
