Paper: Citrix XenDesktop 5.5 vs. VMware View 5: User experience and bandwidth consumption

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 12:24 PM PDT

Yesterday, Citrix's official blog published a comparative study between XenDesktp 5.5 and VMware View 5 commissioned to Principled Technology, in order to answer to an identical study, from the same testing facility, previously published from VMware.

According to Citrix's blog that set of tests evaluated a single user using single virtual desktop on a "quiet" LAN, so they must be repeated on a realistic corporate environment in order to let HDX definitively crush PCOIP.

Unsurprisingly the results support Citrix's claims also if the poster must admit that VMware View 5.1 wasn't available when the tests were conducted.

Piston Cloud partners with Gridcentric to offer OpenStack-Based VDI

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 11:28 AM PDT

Yesterday Piston Cloud Computing, Inc., a one-year old company that has developed a private cloud operating system built on OpenStack and named Piston Enterprise OS, announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Gridcentric to include its Virtual Memory Streaming (VMS) technology in every Piston Enterprise OS license.

VMS technology increases the per-server density of Virtual Desktops, taking the common memory elements of these desktops and storing them once, in a golden snapshot that will supply the content with an optimized streaming process that avoids duplication.

This partnership launches the first commercially available VDI solution built on OpenStack.

Paper: Performance Study of Oracle RAC on VMware vSphere 5.0

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 11:49 AM PDT

Two days ago VMware published a technical paper containing a comparative performance study of a large Oracle RAC instance installed on vSphere 5 and on a similar physical environment.

The results reveal that Oracle RAC, when virtualized with vSphere 5, performs within 7% of a corresponding physical environment. This information encouraged EMC IT to use vSphere to support their production Oracle RAC databases. This paper also provides best practices implemented while examining the performance of Oracle RAC on vSphere 5. Customers can use this information to optimize their own installations.

Blank App-V icons

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 06:28 AM PDT

Hi,

I have been going through the blank App-V icon issue in the forums but not able find any definite solution to the issue.

We are having a VDI environment basedon VMware View technology. We are using both persistent and stateless desktops and I have installed App-V clients in both the desktops.

I have one App-V server and the App-V clients are configured to access the applications through read only shared cache.

The folders I am redirecting are %Appdata% and Desktop.

The virtualized applications publish the icons in the desktop and start menu. When login to a virtual desktop for the first time, I am able to view the icons without any problem.

If I logoff out of the virtual desktop and login into another virtual desktop (either persistent or stateless desktop) the icon is displayed as blank while square icon, although  the application still works on launching it.

We are using View Persona Management to capture the roaming user profiles and I am not able to exlcude specific folders like "%AppData%\softgrid client\Icon Cache" folders.

How can I go about resolving this issue?

If I create a logoff script that clears the content in the "iconcache" folder under %Appdata% will this work or is there any workaround to resolve this issue?

Shell extensions for Virtualized Orca application

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 05:34 AM PDT

I am a newbie to App-V 4.6 sp1. I am facing an issue in virtualizing Microsoft Orca 3.1.

Microsoft Orca has 4 shell extensions for MSI,MSM,MSP,pcp. If we right click we get Edit with Orca etc. I am getting the option for .msm and .pcp files but unable to get option for msi and msp file.

I have given OVERRIDING = TRUE for MGMT_FILEASSOCIATIONS but no option.

I observer during sequencing PROGID's Msi.Package and MSi.patch are present in the machine whereas the other PROGID's for .msm and .pcp are not present.

Please let me know how to proceed.
