The hardware that is used during this test are:
3x IBM System x3550 with
2 x Intel Xeon E5410 @ 2.33 GHz
32 Gb internal memory.
On 2 machines we run XenServer and on one machine we run ESX.
On XenDesktop the VDI's have 512 MB internal memory and on VMware View they have 1GB of memory.

Would be more interesting to see Citrix HDX vs View with PCoIP..

I'm trying to run BF3 in Wine it doesn't work, on VirtualBox it's useless I think I'll try XEN desktop soon, thanks

you need to know, that vmware virtulize the drivers, while citrix got their xentools. its like comparing apples and pears :) you need to look whats the best for you enviroutment

Overduidelijk!

Anyone has tried kaviza with HDX?

VMware View and PCoIP is not a WAN optimized protocol like Citrix ICA. Citrix XenDesktop and XenServer is the clearer winner and for 1/3 of the Cost.. If you want PCoIP via Citrix, You can use Citrix Provisioning server for LAN based delivery.
People need to understand the Application and Desktop visualization models before selecting a technology..

Purely commenting on the video. Just responding to some of the previous commentators. I agree with the previous comment that this needs to be done with PCoIP, but I'm firmly confident that vSphere is the hypervisor of choice regardless of the VDI decision.

@vmwaretips Sorry, are you commenting on the demo or preparing to shoot a VMware commercial?
Hi Please answer me this question. On top of a IBM x460 is it possible to have XEN with 64 bit guests vist, xp, linux etc.??
I have a x460 that does not support intel VT. Put VMWare 64 bit on and now I cannot put 64bit os's onto VMware. Can XEN overcome this?
Thanks.

@FreePizza007 Xen requires CPU virtualization support/extensions (Intel VT, AMD-V) for running HVM guests (=Windows). Virtualization support needs to be enabled in the system BIOS. Intel calls this feature also as "VT-x".
So if your CPU doesn't have Intel VT support, you can only run non windows guest machines on your XenServer.
Hope it helps.

I assume you are using Port ICA on the XenDesktop and RDP on the View side?

You're correct. We were using both native clients for the testing. The Citrix Desktop Receiver and the VMware View client.
