This issue is typically solved by adding more hardware, buying one-off arrays for VDI, or deploying an all flash system; however, this options drive up the cost of VDI deployments and compromise IT budgets everywhere. With NexentaConnect for XenDesktop, virtual desktop administrators can integrate storage and desktop management for XenDesktop Machine Creation Services (MCS) without having to purchase complex and expensive hardware.
