Today we’re bringing an interesting tutorial that explains how to emulate a SSD on nested ESXi courtesy of Settlersoman.
The author explains that this process may help you to test VSAN and EMC ScaleIO in case you don’t have a server with SSD disk.
Find below the link to the article where you can see screenshots and learn about the whole process:

Organizations considering adopting VDI should pay special attention when choosing the hardware to deploy its desktop virtualization platform, since the performance of the virtual desktop is directly linked to the performance of the underlying hardware.
First of all,you should make sure that the hardware is certified to work with the VDI software. Some of the major providers perform tests with several hardware components to ensure that they work correctly with their VDI software.
During the last two weeks, the most outstanding topics in our blog have been the following: VMware vSphere new version, the new functionalities of UDS Enterprise with OpenGnsys and tips to avoid errors when deploying a virtual desktop infraestructure.

Hyper-converged storage systems are emerging as an ideal option for a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), since they allow providers to manage all configuration options. The system can be preconfigured with the type of storage and adequate networks, so virtual desktops work properly. In addition, having a single contact for support also facilitates the work of the administrator.
In this type of storage, all parts of the system are designed to work together and they are optimized for a specific type of virtualization (server virtualization or VDI). This makes it fairly simple to start with a small pilot and then update it and expand it to support the entire organization.
A recent report from IDC says that a 300% ROI can be achieved with desktop virtualization. But in order to get such positive results, it is necessary to plan carefully all the steps to be followed.
Below we summarize the eight most common errors when deploying a VDI project:
