Cebit 2010 Hannover, Day 3 and 4

Yesterday we worked very hard on Cebit and I was not able to put a blog on it. And I had to go home yesterday. So at this moment I'm working home on the Cebit setup as we have remote access to the booth.

Tomorrow is the last day on Cebit, and I will not be available, so this is my last blog about cebit.

But I will not leave you without pictures.

Is this a nice cloud or isn't it?

4499 Virtual Machines all linked to one single application repository with 1.1 peta byte of SWV applications. 1.1 peta byte is the equivelant of 1.100 Terrabyte.

In fact the whole disk was 90 GB, but because we used the single 90 GB instance it looked like 1.1 Peta byte.

Quote: l solution is getting faster the more desktops we deploy. This is expected behaviour for larger VirtualStorm environments.
The bottlenecks right now are mostly VirtualCenter, Tomcat and MSSQL. Optimization scripts have allowed vCenter to go up to 4500 machines.
Depending on workload the switch pushes between 100 and 250 Gbit/s through the entire system.
The desktops that have been deployed together result in an application stack of 1125 TB of SWV managed applications.
755 deployed VMs on a dual socket quad core machine (not all running as there is insufficient memory :( )
Access to desktops occurs dinamically through one of the available Panologic devices.
Deployment time for 150 desktops: 3 minutes. (nice boxes... we may keep them...)

Above is an overview of 1 host with 826 Virtual machines running. Cool aint it?

On the picture below you see a piece of some the storage we used for a very small part:

Next week I will write a full article about everything including the Symantec Workspace Virtualisation part.
