Executive SummaryEnterprises are seeking to balance the need for large, centralized data centers and the need for excellent userexperiences in remote and branch offices with larger user communities. Small and medium-sized businesses areseeking ways to run a compact, self-contained computing infrastructure that is economical and efficient and thatoffers the potential for growth.Desktop virtualization can help meet these challenges. However, for midsize customers, one of the main barriers toentry is the capital expense required to deploy proof of concept (PoC,) pilot, and development environments. Forsmaller customers, deployment of a desktop virtualization system for fewer than 300 users is cost prohibitive.To overcome these entry-point barriers, Cisco has developed a self-contained desktop virtualization solution thatcan host 500 Citrix XenDesktop-based virtual desktops. This architecture uses non-persistent virtual desktopinfrastructure (VDI) desktops and remote desktop service (RDS) server desktops on a four-blade Cisco UCS Miniplatform using Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Servers with a Nimble Storage system. The complete system hosts thefollowing required infrastructure as well: VMware vSphere 5.5 Update 1 VMware vCenter 5.5 Microsoft Active Directory domain controllers Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Microsoft file server for user data and user profiles Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 Citrix Provisioning Services 7.6The Cisco UCS Mini configuration used to validate the configuration is: 1 Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis 2 Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnects 4 Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Servers Intel Xeon processor E5-2660 v2 10-core 2.2-GHz CPUs: 2 per blade 128-GB 1866-MHz DIMMs (8 x 16 GB): 1 per infrastructure blade 256-GB 1866-MHz DIMMs (16 x 16 GB): 1 per VDI blade 1 Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1240 converged network adapter (CNA)The Nimble Storage array used to validate the configuration is: Nimble Storage CS300 with 10.92 terabytes (TB) of raw capacity (12 x 1-TB 7200-rpm SATA hard-diskdrive [HDD]), 1.09 TB of solid-state drive (SSD)–based flash memory, and dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet datanetwork interface card (NIC) connections per controller Note:2 controllers operating in an active-standby redundant configuration on the Nimble Storage CS300This reference architecture places all required virtual machine-based infrastructure components, such asMicrosoft Active Directory (AD) domain controllers and Microsoft SQL Server, within a self-contained design and 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

with a shared desktop workload. These components can optionally be hosted elsewhere with scalability tested andvalidated accordingly.The configuration used in these tests provides an excellent virtual desktop end-user experience for 500 mixed-usecase sessions as measured by the test tool, Login Virtual Session Indexer (VSI), at a highly competitive price.As with any solution deployed to users with data storage requirements, a data protection solution must be deployedto help ensure the continuity of the user data. Such a solution can be deployed on the host or storage and isoutside the scope of this document.Scalability guidance: Looking at the results of the testing done in this document, the four-blade Cisco UCS Miniwith Nimble Storage CS300 easily supported a total of 500 desktop sessions in a mixed VDI and RDSconfiguration. You can double the user density by adding up to four more blades to the Cisco UCS Mini chassis.The Nimble Storage CS300 can easily support this workload in both capacity and performance. The softwareinfrastructure components that comprise Citrix XenDesktop can also effortlessly support an increased load.Cisco UCS Mini: Edge-Scale SolutionWith Cisco UCS Mini, the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS), originally designed for the data center,is now optimized for branch and remote offices and point-of-sale (PoS) and smaller IT environments. Cisco UCSMini is designed for customers who need fewer servers but still want the robust management capabilities providedby Cisco UCS Manager. This solution delivers servers, storage, and 10 Gigabit networking in an easy-to-deploy,compact form factor.The solution includes these components (Figure 1):Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server: Delivering performance, versatility, and density without compromise, the CiscoUCS B200 M3 Blade Server addresses a broad set of workloads.Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis: The chassis can accommodate up to eight half-width Cisco UCS B200 M3Blade Servers.Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect: The Cisco UCS 6324 provides the same unified server and networkingcapabilities as the top-of-rack (ToR) Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects embedded in the Cisco UCS5108 Blade Server Chassis.Cisco UCS Manager: Cisco UCS Manager provides unified, embedded management of all software and hardwarecomponents in a Cisco UCS Mini solution. 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Backup and recovery are integral components of any production environment. Nimble Storage protects data bysupporting instant snapshots for easy backup and restoration, along with efficient replication for disaster recovery.Volumes can be placed on a protection schedule during their creation or at any time afterward. Volume collectionsoffer an efficient way to group volume backup operations, allowing multiple volumes to be on the same snapshotschedule. A volume collection can consist of one or many volumes. In Figure 8, the volume Infra, which houses theVDI infrastructure components, is part of a volume collection called INFRA-DS. This collection contains multiplehourly snapshots. Only the delta of the original snapshot is written to disk after the data has been compressed,further reducing the space required to house the snapshots.Figure 8.Nimble Storage GUI: SnapshotsNimble Storage CS300 Volume MonitoringThe capability to easily monitor volume activity is crucial to assessing current storage use, compression rates,connectivity, and performance. Nimble Storage allows the administrator many ways to view, modify, and monitorvolume performance and use.The Nimble Storage GUI and command-line interface (CLI) give administrators the tools and views they need toquickly and accurately perform volume tasks. Volume size, maintenance processes, snapshots, compression, andconnectivity can all be viewed and controlled by both the GUI and CLI, as shown in Figures 9 and 10. 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
