“The second factor—which is ultimately the most important in the success of VDI—is the storage I/O required to provide a better-than-PC or equal-to-PC end-user experience.

With the exception of the most expensive storage solutions, storage serving VDI is often incapable of providing the necessary I/O required to deliver a solid end-user experience.“
