TL;DR
This paper evaluates the performance of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) setup in an educational environment, demonstrating that 30 virtual desktops can operate efficiently on a XenServer hypervisor without saturation.
Contribution
It presents a practical implementation of VDI with over 30 virtual desktops and assesses its performance using Login VSI benchmarking tool.
Findings
System performs well with 30 virtual desktops
No saturation point reached during testing
VDI enhances resource utilization in educational settings
Abstract
Virtualization technology is widely used for sharing the abilities of computer systems by splitting the resources among various virtual PCs. In traditional computer systems, the utilization of hardware is not maximized and the resources are not fully consumed. By using the virtualization technology, the maximum utilization of computer system hardware is possible. Today, many organizations especially educational institutes are adopting virtualization technology to minimize the costs and increase the flexibility, responsiveness, and efficiency. In this paper, we built a virtual educational lab in which we successfully implemented Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and created more than 30 virtual desktops. The virtual desktops are created on the Citrix XenServer hypervisor using the Citrix XenDesktop. Finally, we used benchmarking software tool called Login VSI in order to measure the…
