VMware View virtual desktop infrastructure
Introduction
This section provides information on how we designed our solution for hosting 2,000 users in
a VMware View environment on EMC VNX series.
Baseline
A Windows 7 desktop is loaded with the required applications and fine tuned for the virtual
machine load. This includes removing unnecessary scheduled tasks, configurations, and
services. For further details, refer http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-View-
OptimizationGuideWindows7-EN.pdf
The configuration of the Windows 7 virtual machine is defined in Table 4.

K allocation unit.
We ran a medium workload on a single virtual machine using Login VSI and observed the
workload with a two-second interval during the execution of the test as described in Table 5.
