Wohoo!! When we where creating Login VSI we had a few goals in mind, one of them is becoming the de facto standard for benchmarking virtual environments (TS/VDI/Bare metal etc). And i have to say: something is happening in the industry. To begin with we have Project VRC by Ruben and Jeroen but recently Citrix published some rather interesting whitepapers.

• Official Citrix Whitepaper with 5000 XenDesktop users. http://bit.ly/c5a0n5

Use free and reputable tools like LoginVSI from Login Consultants to simulate real-worldlike
user workloads.

• Official Citrix Whitepaper Single server scalability with XenDesktop http://bit.ly/b4MH75

VM density results are highly dependent upon workload characteristics. We used a
workload called Login VSI, created by an independent company, Login Consultants.
Login VSI, is well known in the VDI and terminal services community with testing of
8 various terminal services and VDI solutions from multiple vendors in a comprehensive,
ongoing test project called Project Virtual Reality Check
