This thesis investigates the use of virtual desktop technology for virtualizationand performance within the hardware hierarchy. The study focused on the mostpopular of the three virtualization technologies (VMware Horizon, Citrix Xen-Desktop and Microsoft VDI) and made a pure performance comparison of themusing the same test conditions and environment. Using the current popular testsoftware, including the network of SiSoftware Sandra Pro test system performanceand CPU and RAM of PassMark PerformanceTest, the researchers had tested thehard disk IOPS of AS SSD Benchmark, then looked at the effectiveness of thechange within the vCenter Server and recorded the results through statistics.Theresults show that under various agreements across different areas of expertise, hasbecome an intensely competitive field. Coupled with the efficiency of hardwaredevelopment, this era of Moore’s Law, the processor (CPU) single cores, increasedmemory (RAM) capacity, has caused the effectiveness of servers to shrink but hasalso created a modern virtualization event. The stress test experiment shows thatnetwork bandwidth and IOPS hard drive storage space is enough to better understandthe overall performance and cost that is suitable for a classroom desktopvirtualization system. After saving maintenance costs, if the correct methods andprocedures and employed, the researchers believe the school computer lab can importvirtual desktop systems to achieve considerable results.
