VDI - Calculator

• This calculator is targeted for VMware View designs running on top of vSphere infrastructure
• All the inputs are Mandatory

• All the calculations are done assuming VMware Composer along with Linked Clones is being used.
• Hybrid Architecture is N/A
• It assumes the processor speed as 2.5Ghz
• All the calculations have been done for RAID5

• Overheads are considered

1. 5% for CPU
2. 5% for Memory
3. 10% for Storage
• IOPS calculated at 10 IOPS per VDI with 80% Read IOPS & 20% Write IOPS
• This calculations doesn't count the Boot storm IOPS

• Three Types of Users are considered

1. Task Workers
2. Knowledge Workers
3. Power Users
