Sizing a Windows 7 VDI configuration

[gcaley]

Hi all,

I'm looking to very roughly size a windows 7 VDI deployment, using VMware.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what values to fill into the sizer for:

Number of IOPs
Number of Users for Profile
C Drive Size (GB)
VM Memory Size (GB)
Unique Data per VM (GB)
Aggregate Type	32_Bit64_Bit
Read %
Write %
Working Set Size %
Read IO Size (KB)	4KB8KB
Write IO Size (KB)	4KB8KB
Random Read Latency (ms)

Thanks.

Those are the specfics to the users desktop image and number of users you are sizing the VDI project for. There are great details here  http://www.netapp.com/us/library/technical-reports/tr-3902.html

Feel free to look me up in the corp directory and I can help you out as well.
