Login Consultants and PQR releases Virtual Reality Check Whitepapers
Ruben Spruijt of PQR and Jeroen van de Kamp of Login Consultants have announce a joint venture called Project Virtual Reality Check.
“Project Virtual Reality Check (VRC) is a joint venture of Log•in Consultants and PQR, who have researched the optimal configuration for the different available hypervisors (hardware virtualization layers). The project arises from the growing demand for a founded advice on how to virtualise Terminal Server and Virtual Desktop (VDI) workloads. Through a number of researches, Log•in Consultants and PQR show you the scaling possibilities for Terminal Server environments as well as Virtual Desktops.”
Ruben states “…the goal of Project VRC is to investigate, validate, and find answers to the following questions:
- How do various Microsoft Windows Client OSes scale when used for virtual desktops?
- How does a VDI infrastructure scale in comparison to (virtualized) Terminal Server?
- Which performance optimization on the host and guest virtualization level can be configured, and what is the impact of these settings on user density?
- With the introduction of the latest hypervisor technologies, can we now recommend running large-scale Terminal Server or Citrix workloads on a virtualization platform?
- What is the performance impact of adding Citrix XenApp to Terminal Server?
- How do x86 (32-bit) and x64 TS platforms compare in scalability on bare metal and virtualized environments?
- What is the best way to partition (memory and vCPU) the Virtual Machines and the hypervisor host to achieve the highest possible user density?”

I already have read all the white papers and a realy must say the outcommings are mind boggeling and they will put virtualization of XenApp and Terminal Servers in a different perspective.
