vSphere 5.0 for VDI

• 30% performance improvement measured by consolidation rati
• Better out of the box CPU scheduling for VDI workloads
• No special tuning required

Memory

• Per VM allocation reduced significantly
• Allows better memory over-commit/higher consolidation ratios
• 60% less book keeping memory per 1GB RAM VM
• transparent page sharing

Graphics

• 3D support

  • 3D graphics is rendered using CPU resources
  • Eliminates cost for GPUs and special devices
  • Good for light 3D apps/Aero

  • PCoIP Server offload cards w/Teradici

    • Improved performance
    • better consolidation from offloading

Protocol Enhancements

• WAN Bandwidth optimizations
• Lossless CODEC for text improvement
• 30% bandwidth improvement
• client side caching

• Build to lossless

  • Render initial image
  • Build up to lossless
  • Build until fully lossless
  • Up to 75% bandwidth improvement if disable build to lossless

CPU optimizations

• Negligible PCoIP overhead for idle VMs
• Optimizations of algorithms and core functions at a lower level
• Reduced compression library overheads

• Better Session Resilience

  • Session recovery during loss of network up to 30 seconds is seamless to users

• PCoIP performance counters for session stats/performance monitoring

  • WMI based

Provisioning

• Faster operations in 5.0
• More parallelism with config parameters
