Virtualized = More Complex
Disk reads

Excessive disk reads by the Oracle Database slows down Citrix accesses
Adding Virtualization introduces a secondary layer of resource sharing
on top of Citrix.

3 Steps to Becoming
a Citrix Performance Hero
30. Applications
are slow
VDI is not
working
VDI freezes
often
Users care about the “service”
The CPU usage of
the VMware servers
is ok.
The DNS servers are
responding well to
queries.
IT operations teams focus
on infrastructure silos
This disconnect is a threat to the success of transformational IT
initiatives & the promise of agility, scalability, and cost savings!

Otherwise, it will be a case of “Garbage in, Garbage out”!
