add a comment
Now that VDI is top-of-mind, more an more people ask us about design consideration, architecture, who can we VDI (if VDI would be a verb), … Most VDI vendors have some sort of guidelines or handbook and now Citrite Daniel Feller (senior architect) and Thomas Berger are “writing” the Encyclopedia Brittanica on XenDesktop: “the XenDesktop Design Handbook”.
The first part (of a multi-chapter handbook) has been released to the support-site of Citrix. This part focuses on ‘operating systems’, application and virtual desktop delivery design decisions. Over the coming months they will expand the series into different design dicision areas.
Some recommendations:
- Use provisioning services for ‘device collection’ for better organization of the devices and start with a minimum of different vDisks.
- Configure the SQL database in a fully redundant matter …. XenServer + Marathon Technologies everRun VM
- What about storage … page 4
- Where to store the write cache …. page 6

Cisco Project California [Part IV - Unified Computing System] March 17, 2009

So Project California has seen the light (previous post) … yesterday there was a gigantic-buzz across blogs, twitters and the web on Cisco’s UCS … Unified Computing System. A digest of the most important things-to-know …
· The system consists out of Fabric interconnects, Fabric extenders and Blade Servers, which work as 1 big unit within the data center. The Fabric Interconnect holds the “service profiles”, which are frameworks including paramets for power, cooling, network parameters, storage parameters, … These profiles are used for coordination and automation of each layer of the hardware stack (which includes the interconnects, the extenders, the NICs and the blade servers).
· The provisioning of the OS within a virtual machine or a physical blade is not part of the solution, in order to provision these OS and applications, the user will have to work with XML APIs.
· Cisco claims that they can reduce CAPEX with 20% and OPEX with 30%, this is not that surprising. A general automated and consolidated data center can obtain these ratios.
As this is a complete Cisco-centric-solution there are some catches involved:
· In order to maintain uptime it advised to have a cluster of Fabric Interconnects that work in an active/passive mode
· Cisco only supports VMware at present, although that certain reports claim that the solution will also be available for Hyper-V. The Nexus switch is included within the UCS solution but the Nexus works best with VMware
· What about vendor-lock-in?
Other items that have to be seen are:
· Pricing ! General availability of the solution is foreseen for Q2/09.
· The solution is aimed at server virtualization, what about solutions for application virtualization?
· The specifications of the blade servers
Additional information can be found at Cisco Press Releases, Cisco UCS Homepage, Data Center Knowledge, VMblog, Scott Lowe, Stephen Foskett,
Stay tuned for more …

Citrix releases Workflow Studio 1.0 January 23, 2009
Posted by Jürgen De Wolf in Data Center Management.1 comment so far
Citrix Workflow Studio 1.0 was released this week and is now available for download on MyCitrix to current Citrix partners, and to customers of XenApp, XenDesktop, XenServer, and NetScaler who are current on Subscription Advantage. You can access the download directly here. The Workflow Studio platform will allow customers and partners to automate processes across Citrix products and with 3rd party products, truly delivering on the vision of transforming a datacenter into a delivery center.
Citrix Partners can drive huge value to customers by developing custom Workflows using Citrix Workflow Studio. From automating routine manual processes like User Administration to more powerful integrated processes like Power Management, solutions can be built that are tailored to specific business requirements. Since WFS is built on Microsoft technologies, Partners can quickly ramp up to speed and staff resources to develop workflows in a very short period of time.
The key benefits provided by Workflow Studio are:
- Graphically create workflows without writing scripts
- Activate, Schedule, and Monitor workflow processes from a unified central dashboard
- Mechanize repetitive configuration tasks
- Integrate infrastructure components across the Citrix Delivery Center
- Extend / Integrate application processes that span multiple products
- Access a rich set of resources through direct integration with the Citrix Developer Network
The orchestration of technology components into a seamless, integrated delivery system provides a dynamic infrastructure that can respond to changes in user demand or other external factors. By doing so, IT organizations realize the cost savings, support staff efficiencies, and improved user experience necessary to drive competitive advantage and deliver business value.
Some of the key use cases are:
- Power Management – Reduce power consumption in the data center
- User Provisioning – Automate the process of provisioning users
- Dynamic Resource Allocation – Detect changes in user traffic patterns and automatically re-configure server resources for on-demand access
- Disaster Recovery – Automate failover and recovery procedures
- Product Automation – Automate repetitive tasks and ensure best practices are followed

Virtualization.info conducted a research on ‘the state of the sector’ in October last year, they have released the first results on their website:
Seen the number of respondent we must say that it has been an extensive study, approximately there was a 50/50 rule between the US and EMEA. The size of the companies -however- does not always reflect the real world, more than 64% of the respondents was working for a company with more than 1000 users.
One thing was a little bit “surprrising” in the TOP3 of ‘used platforms’ you get VMware, XenServer and Hyper-V, as one would expect. But Hyper-V is way above VMware, which is little strange seen the ‘time’ it has been on the market. Another explanation comes from the size of the companies in the survey.
