There are a number of decisions or choices, some of these are typical for vSphere and Horizon View design, however they require thought, along with the impact on other parts of the design. Dell Wyse P25 Zero Client, with latest v4.2 firmware applied.x2 Nvidia K1 GRID cards per host, offering 8 GPUs per host (4 per card).x2 Dell PowerEdge R720 – 128GB, x2 CPU (12 cores each), core speed 2.3GHZ and local SSD storage.These are the resources that were available (design constraints). The hardware for the project had already been procured before the engagement started. Of course, vSphere 5.5 can handle virtual machines of that size, if required. The customer is aware performance may not match physical, as those dedicated workstations have resources up to 24GB and x2 CPU (6 cores each). The above may be slightly vague, however the pilot or POC is there to validate if the solution can replace existing physical desktops going forward. The ability to rotate, zoom and interact with models with no excessive lag or jitter would be considered a success. Performance should be suitable for CAD users compared to existing physical workstations.Performance doesn’t necessarily have to match or exceed that of a physical workstation.Provide full scale workstation replacement for CAD users (approx 8).Let’s step through a couple of deployment stages:. My primary resource I used for this deployment is the VMware whitepaper Graphics Acceleration in VMware Horizon View Virtual Desktops
You’ll find plenty of resources already out there, going over the differences, advantages and disadvantages of each. Therefore, I’ve spent quite some time researching the technology and also hands on with the graphics acceleration offering from Horizon View 5.3, such as vSGA and vDGA. One of the main business drivers and Use Cases, is full scale workstation replacement for CAD users (approx 8). Over the course of the last month, I’ve been engaged with a client around a Horizon View Plan & Design.
