My good old friend Jeroen van der Kamp, Chief Technology Officer at Login Consultants brought me up-to-date about their newest release. The Login Virtual Session Indexer (Login VSI) is a free and platform independent benchmark for Virtual Desktop Infrastructures and Terminal Services. This 1.0 release has been fully tested, the workload has been carefully tuned, and now publication of your own results is allowed. As usual, Login VSI 1.0 is a free download from www.loginvsi.com.
Changes for Login VSI 1.0:
• Publication of Login VSI results is now allowed when the Login VSI publication guidelines are used;
• The workload is now tuned and can be categorized to be medium/heavy load of a typical knowledge worker (this is in comparison to average Terminal Server deployments);
• The CPU workload may be categorized as medium/heavy (above average);
• The Memory workload is now medium (slightly above average);
• Many typical beta bug fixes, Login VSI is now battle proven in the benchmarking project: “Virtual Reality Check” by PQR and Login Consultants;
• Improved schema to calculate the optimal performance index;
