My presentation is called “Virtual Desktop (VDI) Performance Troubleshooting” Thank you much to Ben Liebowitz for the invitation. And this drastically reduces the number of virtual machines which I can put on a host.Īny hints how I could achieve smooth 720p full screen playback, highly appreciated.I was delighted at the chance to present at the New Jersey VMware User Group (NJ VMUG). But testing has shown that I need to assign at least 4vCPU to the virtual desktops to achieve this goal.

What I'm trying to achieve is smooth 720p full screen playback.

It only offloads the displays PCoIP processing which is only responsible for about 20% of the overall CPU utilization of a VM. I mean, why would I suddenly be able to run more virtual desktops on a host? It doesn't really offload CPU utilization caused by for example video playback. What I don't understand is how this would enable me to put more virtual machines on one single host than without the Apex card i.e. My understanding is that it offloads the 100 busiest virtual desktops CPU (well the displays of it i.e. I'm not quite certain yet how the Teradici APEX 2800 card would positively affect a virtual desktop environment during non contention periods.
