Understand Your End-Users’ Needs: Do your users need to be able to customize their desktops, or are they task workers who can work from a generic desktop? (In other words, is your organization better suited to a persistent or nonpersistent VDI setup?) What are your users’ performance requirements? You’ll need to provision your setup differently for users who use graphics-intensive applications versus those who just need access to the internet or to one or two simple applications.

Avoid Underprovisioning: Perform capacity planning in advance using a performance monitoring tool to understand the resources each virtual desktop consumes and to make sure you know your overall resource consumption needs.

Prepare Your Network: Since VDI performance is so closely linked to network performance, it’s important to know peak usage times and anticipate demand spikes to ensure sufficient network capacity.In addition to infrastructure considerations, there are a number of best practices to follow when implementing VDI: On the other hand, implementing HCI for VDI is probably not necessary (and would be overly expensive) for organizations that require less than 100 virtual desktops. When planning for VDI deployment, larger enterprises should consider implementing it in an HCI environment, as HCI’s scalability and high performance are a natural fit for VDI’s resource needs.
