Quest vWorkspace with Microsoft Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager: VDI Management

Overview

This paper provides the results of tests to validate the capability of Quest vWorkspace and Microsoft VDI Suite, including Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager, to provision and manage 5,000 Windows 7 SP1 virtual desktops.

The tests and simulations focused on how the solution scales and performs under high load. We also looked at the day-to-day management of a VDI environment, including desktop provisioning, logon storms, Patch Tuesday actions, and power management ("green IT").
