Happy New Year Everyone!
For my first post of the new year, I wanted to provide a brief summary of what Citrix XenDesktop customers have been able to achieve in 2011 using Sanbolic Melio Distributed data management software.
- hundreds of Citrix customers around the world started with XenDesktop Drivers / PoCs very quickly (within days, not weeks or months), with less effort and at lower initial cost .
- After successful completion Drivers / PoCs, customers have moved their virtual desktop infrastructure into production while users working on their virtual desktops.
- many customers who have made their XenDesktop Drivers / PoCs on Hyper-V stayed with Hyper-V when they moved their virtual desktop infrastructure in production.
- As customers started realizing the benefits of VDI, they expanded their transparent infrastructure for the benefits of desktop virtualization to a larger scale, providing a greater return on their XenDesktop investments.
How?
- They used Sanbolic Melio to create flexible pools of high availability shared storage from readers installed in industry-standard servers to store desktop images , virtual machines and SQL databases for their drivers / PoCs.
- they leverage the unique advantages of Melio to deploy XenDesktop in their production environments using the same servers and storage they used for their drivers / PoCs.
- they continued to take advantage of enterprise-class features (ie pole -Wide data protection, dynamic volume expansion, live migration of virtual machines and storage, quality service, etc.) provided by the combination of Hyper-V and Melio technology when they moved their virtual desktop infrastructure in production.
- they took advantage of vast capabilities of Melio, including live storage / data migration and dynamic volume expansion, scale their virtual desktop infrastructures quickly and easily, no downtime of the system.
in the future ...
Sanbolic continue to help Citrix customers realize faster return and greater investment in their XenDesktop by:
- Introducing the latest version of its SQL Server HA solution - AppCluster R2 , which provides high availability of PVS and XenDesktop databases.
- further improve the innate mirroring capabilities of Melio to enable customers to use the disc in its commodity server hardware to create a low cost shared storage solution for PVS and Hyper- V.
- Offering a cost effective DR solution that enables two active / active configurations and assets / liabilities for XenDesktop on geographically dispersed sites
