V3 - VDI's Fatal Flaw

A V3 Systems solution addresses the traditional performance bottleneck in three key ways:

1. V3 virtual desktop host appliances contain local storage and compute components within each server appliance (no SAN required for VDI). The OS and apps for each user reside in local storage and are directly accessible to the CPU at the bus level via a PCIe or SATA protocols. This provides a level of throughput (read/write requests and actual read/writes) impossible for even the best SAN-based traditional
VDI deployment.

2. All local storage within a V3 appliance consists of certified solid-state Flash offering the fastest
possible reads/writes available in a desktop virtualization use case.

3. V3 optimizes the deployment of virtual desktops in several ways to fully take advantage of the direct communication of the compute and storage components contained within each V3 server appliance.

The combination of these three methods results in a high-performance VDI solution that completely eliminates the traditional VDI performance bottleneck at scale while also eliminating the need for a significant SAN deployment or upgrade.
