Tegile Systems says that its Zebi HA2300 Storage Array has been certified for the VMware Rapid Desktop Program for Horizon View 5.2 and has been listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide as a solution that is designed to provide organisations with a way to quickly deploy desktops based on View 5 and above.
Appliances included in the VMware Rapid Desktop Program are fully certified, converged and scalable solutions that have been validated for their ability to deliver predictable units of performance and user experience, helping organisations take the guesswork out of VDI and allow small, medium and large-scale IT organisations to get up and running quickly and cost-effectively. This is the second array from Tegile to earn certification as part of the VMware Rapid Desktop Program and one of the first from any vendor to do so as part of the Horizon View 5.2 release.
The reference architecture utilised for certification included a Zebi HA2300 and Cisco B200 M3 Blade servers running VMware ESXi 5.1 to host the desktops and infrastructure VMs. Tegile deployed 200 VMware View-based full clone Windows 7 desktops and ran a realistic load generator with VMware View Planner the simulated 200 users performing common computing tasks. The majority of user application interactions had a response time of 0.65 seconds or less – passing is less than 1.5 seconds – and a massive 95 percent reduction of physical storage resulting from the high-performance inline data reduction capabilities delivered by the Zebi array.
“This certification is an extension of our strong technology partnership with VMware and our joint effort to solve the performance and economic challenges that come with VDI deployments,” said Rob Commins, VP Marketing of Tegile Systems. “By certifying our Zebi storage array with VMware Horizon View, we are able to deliver to organisations a VDI solution that they can quickly implement, easily manage and afford at a low cost per desktop. And as good as our reference architecture performed, we believe that real-world results can be even more impressive with a single HA2300 supporting a few hundred desktops, helping organisations take advantage of under-utilised capacity and performance for an even lower cost per desktop.”
