So my thinking was that I can use an all SSD array to provide a much better experience to the end user I would say like 40GB per desktop 20GB for windows and 20GB for user data.
I can use mapped network drives for the users to store data on the network that's mapped when they login to there desktop.
Ok so looking at the guide it seems that 2 VCPU is an overkill for just standard users but there is no getting around the memory barrier.
5 host's total with 256GB per host and 1 host for redundancy.
How about the vcenter, view connection server , view composer and domain controller/DNS servers going to need two more host's
for this in it's own datacenter/cluster?
Just noticed 140 VMs per LUN with VAAI support and 64 VM for no VAAI Fiber Channel and an unlimited number of VMs for NFS and iSCSI.
So I couldn't just carve out 1 big FC SSD LUN for the pool and share it amongst all the hosts for the desktops ?
Looks like NFS seems to be a better choice in storage for this solution since I can just share the SSD array to all the host's or
can this be accomplished with FC I suppose I could make desktop pools 100VM per LUN but how would HA work in this solution is it
possible?
