GlassHouse Technologies VMworld interview with James Candelaria, CTO, WhipTail - (video on YouTube)

James Candelaria says he chose this video because, "Virtual Desktop Initiative (VDI) is the most I/O intensive workload for storage. Without a proven solid-state shared storage option to deliver performance and reduce the overall storage TCO of VDI, this huge opportunity will simply never get off the ground."

Understanding how storage design has a big impact on your VDI - by blogger Brian Madden

James Candelaria says he recommends this article because, "Although we feel this article underestimates the true I/O demand of each desktop, overall it does a great job of explaining VDI's "dirty little secret" of not only how many IOPs are needed to scale a VDI deployment, but also how the majority of the workload is write-intensive."

Consider compression for primary storage optimization - by Jeff Boles and Jeff Byrne (Taneja Group) - published on InfoStor

James Candelaria says he recommends this article because, "This article clearly articulates the pros and cons of traditional approaches to data deduplication and compression options for primary storage and illustrates the achievement of being able to leverage SSD to overcome all challenges to offer this benefit inline/inband."
