Follow on Google News | Atlantis Computing Launches Solution to Optimize Citrix XenApp in the Virtual DatacenterAtlantis ILIO for Citrix XenApp Solves the Storage and Performance Bottlenecks
By: Sabrina Sanchez, Ventana Public Relations Virtualizing XenApp causes a storage bottleneck that increases provisioning times, extends boot times and can reduce the number of XenApp sessions per server. To address the storage and performance barriers, Atlantis ILIO for Citrix XenApp continuously optimizes the storage traffic of the virtualized Windows Server throughout the daily cycle of re-provisioning, bootup and logon. “There is a massive install base of customers on Citrix XenApp 4.5 with Windows Server 2003 that must move to Citrix XenApp 6.5 with Server 2008 R2 by March 2013,” said Vincent Branger, Virtualization Expert and Consultant, Infralys. “When customers migrate to XenApp 6.5, the majority will virtualize Windows Server 2008 R2 to take advantage of the manageability and consolidation benefits of server virtualization. However, the combination of virtualizing XenApp, upgrading to Windows Server 2008 and shared storage introduces performance issues with provisioning, boot time and application response time for IO bound applications.” As XenApp customers migrate to Windows Server 2008, they want to virtualize their XenApp servers to take advantage of server consolidation and improve their manageability. However, the combination of virtualizing XenApp and moving to Windows Server 2008 requires a significant increase in the amount of shared storage needed to avoid performance issues. “Both VDI and Citrix XenApp/RDS follow patterns of approximately 80-90% write activity vs. read activity during steady state. This means that the enhanced write capability delivered by Atlantis ILIO is extremely important to the scalability of the Citrix XenApp & RDS/TS platform,” said Shawn Bass, Citrix CTP and Microsoft MVP. “Deploying RDS/XenApp workloads behind Atlantis ILIO can reduce storage requirements, improve provisioning and boot time and improve scalability.” “As we deployed Atlantis ILIO for VDI to help optimize Citrix XenDesktop deployments, we were continually asked by customers about helping them with their Citrix XenApp deployments,” Atlantis ILIO for Citrix XenApp Test Results as Measured by Citrix CTP and Microsoft MVP, Shawn Bass Performance Provisioning – 53% faster provisioning Boot Time – 4x faster boot times Applications – accelerates response time of IO bound applications Density Server Density – 16% increase in users per server Storage Density – 10x more users on existing storage Storage Savings Storage Capacity – reduce storage capacity by 92% IO Offload – reduce IO to storage by up to 90% Latency – reduce IO latency to improve response time For complete test results, download “Citrix XenApp & RDS Workload Improvements with Atlantis ILIO” by Shawn Bass Tweet This: @AtlantisILIO for @Citrix #XenApp Accelerates Provisioning, Boot Time, Applications – @shawnbass test results About Atlantis Computing Atlantis Computing is transforming enterprise desktop computing by making virtual desktops more affordable, reducing implementation risks and addressing key barriers to market adoption: storage costs and user acceptance.
