Looking for practical detailed examples of successful high performance 7.x vGPU-accelerated VDA implementations

[Andy Vanderbeken]

Hi colleague admins in the field,

 

 

I'm currently in the process of brainstorming on hardware choices to replace our existing old Citrix farm with a brand new one with the best performance and scaling that hardware and software has to offer. I'm looking for people who have gone this path before me and successfully got it to work in it's best form, regardless of the pitfalls etc. I'm thinking about a setup involving:

 

HP DL380 G10 or equivalent running ESX (to support Nvidia grid vGPU splitting)

Nvidia M10, M60 or T4 (for max scaling and splitting of vGPU) optimized for 'user density' grid profile

10Gb network

Citrix virtual apps 1906

 

 

Who completed such a project successfully including benchmarking and how did you configure your Citrix servers hardware-wise for max scaling ? The target here is office user profile and max vGPU  splitting for max user session scaling, not graphical designers user profile with fewest users.
