To ensure the optimal combination of EUE and cost-per-user, PAAC on Dell EMC VDI solutions is carried out using a carefully designed, holistic methodology that monitors both hardware resource utilization parameters and EUE during load-testing. Login VSI – the launchers and Login VSI environment are configured and managed by a centralized management console. Additionally, the following login and boot paradigm is used:
- Data collection interval for non vSAN datastore is 1 minute while for vSAN metrics data collection interval is 5 minutes.
- User logon and workload are two separate phases which are staggered to start every 5 s.
- All desktops are pre-booted before login commences.
- Data collection is a combination of the automated framework and manual scripts.
