Proof of Concept XenDesktop vs VMware View.

1. Playing a simple 480p movie (http://www.bigbuckbunny.org) on XenDesktop and VMware View to see if HDX has added value.
2. Playing a PowerPoint 2007 slideshow. (ICA vs RDP)

  • 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.

  • What is the music?

  • It's a song from Merlin's Magic... ;-)

  • 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..

see all

  • 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?
