We are happy to announce that we now have Citrix XenDesktop VDI certification for EqualLogic.
Citrix has awarded XenDesktop 5 certification for the entire EqualLogic iSCSI SAN portfolio as we produced XenDesktop VDI certification test results and documentation for PS6100/PS6110, PS4100/PS4110, and PS6500/PS6510 series.
This is a very important milestone for VDI with EqualLogic….

This paper describes sizing and best practices for deploying Decision Support Systems (DSS) based on Oracle® 11g Release 2 database using Dell™ EqualLogic™ storage. Supporting test objectives include:
- Determine the best practices and sizing guidelines for deploying Oracle based DSS applications.
- Determine the I/O throughput of the storage using different RAID configurations and array models via I/O simulation.
- Determine the scalability of the I/O throughput via I/O simulation as storage arrays are added.
- Determine the scalability of the I/O throughput via DSS application simulation as storage arrays are added, while ensuring that the overall configuration is balanced with no resource bottlenecks existing on server.

Because both Dell™ EqualLogic™ and OS-native MPIO modules facilitate multiple, simultaneous connections to iSCSI volumes, the total number of iSCSI connections can be surprisingly large, even with a relatively small number of storage hosts, PS Series member arrays, and storage volume targets.
As this paper’s topic suggests, there is a limit to the number of iSCSI connections for both a storage group and a storage pool at which a Dell EqualLogic SAN configuration can operate. This paper will focus on the iSCSI connection maximum for a single pool. It will provide an overview of the factors involved in iSCSI connection creation, define the parameters of the iSCSI connection maximum, and examine whether the SAN performance and availability are affected as the maximum is approached.
