The following figure depicts the architecture of the validated solution, including the network, compute and graphics, storage, and management layers.

The deployment option for this Dell Technologies VDI Solution uses Citrix Machine Creation Services (MCS) with a random or non-persistent desktop—that is, virtual desktops are assigned randomly as users connect. When users log off, their changes are discarded. The desktop is reset to its original state and is available for another user to log in and use.

A vSphere cluster can have a maximum of 64 nodes and 6,400 virtual machines (VMs) per vSAN enabled cluster. To expand beyond this limit, you can add clusters and balance the VMs and nodes across the new clusters.
