CISCO UCS B230 M2 BLADE SERVER:
UNCOMPROMISED VIRTUAL DESKTOP PERFORMANCE
DECEMBER 2011
A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT
Commissioned by Cisco Systems, Inc.
u
When deploying your virtual desktop solution, choosing hardware powerful
enough to support a large number of virtual desktops is crucial. The more virtual
desktops your server can support, the fewer servers you need to buy to provide virtual
desktops to your desired number of users.
To find the virtual desktop capacity of a single Cisco UCS B230 M2 Blade Server,
we used the Login Consultants Virtual Session Indexer (Login VSI) 3.0 benchmark. The
Login VSI workload we used performs a range of tasks to simulate a typical knowledge
worker. The benchmark results show the maximum number of virtual desktops that a
server can support by measuring response times throughout the test.
Testing we conducted in the Principled Technologies lab revealed that a single
Cisco UCS B230 M2 Blade Server running VMware vSphere 5 could support up to 175
concurrent VMware View 5 virtual desktops while still providing an excellent desktop
experience for the end-user. This workload only used 5 percent of the available UCS
bandwidth, leaving significant headroom for additional blades in the chassis for
scalability, demonstrating the extensive bandwidth capacity afforded by the Cisco UCS
architecture.
