Another R710 server, the Management Host, housed the Horizon View Connection Server, the

vCenter Server with View Composer, the SQL server, and a server that stored user profiles for

virtual desktops.

The other R710, the Infrastructure Host, housed non-VMware servers needed to run Horizon

View: the Microsoft Active Directory Domain Controller and the Stratusphere UX desktop

monitoring tool from Liquidware Labs, Inc.

VMware View Composer reduces storage requirements for virtual desktop machines by up to

90% and enables organizations to manage desktop images more effectively. With View

Composer, a single parent virtual image can be created and pushed out to multiple users across

the enterprise in minutes. It also allows updating, patching or rolling out hundreds of desktops

from a single master virtual image and refreshing desktop images while retaining user settings

during updates and patches.

The heart of the test bed was a leaf/spine fabric composed of Dell top-of-rack 10/40 GbE

switches. The S6000 switches are connected by VLT, a proprietary link aggregation protocol

available in Dell data center- and enterprise-class switches.

VLT offers servers connected to different access switches a redundant, load-balancing

connection to the network core in a loop-free environment. Because all physical links are active,

the need for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) as well as advanced and proprietary versions,

is eliminated.

STP creates a spanning tree within a network of connected Layer 2 bridges, which typically are

Ethernet switches. Links that are not part of the spanning tree are redundant, leaving a single

active path between any two network nodes. Redundant links remain blocked until an active link

is disrupted.

The existence of inactive, redundant links, plus the inherent complexity of designing and

implementing STP, makes VLT an attractive alternative for Layer 2 redundancy.

Both leaf switches in the test bed were Dell S5000s, which were connected via VLT. Also, the

S5000 switches were connected to each vSphere (R720) and spine (S6000) server.

A 1G, Layer 3 management switch was connected to a S6000 server and all three Horizon View

servers (Client Host, Management Host and Infrastructure Host). It provided a management

VLAN for all end nodes housing the servers.

To begin the QoE testing, 16 guest operating systems residing on the two stacked R710 servers

functioning as the Horizon View client were launched. Each guest OS had the Login VSI load

testing tool. Each Login VSI generated multiple Horizon View clients.

After a Horizon View client signed in to the virtual desktop on the vSphere ESXi hypervisor,

accessing the Internet, using Microsoft Outlook, writing and editing documents in Microsoft Word,

playing video and playing audio (music).

for the duration of the test, which lasted about 15 minutes.
