Goals and objectives of this position required authoring and publishing Proof of Concept models developed by the Dell Solutions Center team. The POC’s were often times presented with stats and benchmarks per customer request. Additionally, some customers required remote connectivity along the timeline for design and custom application installation. POC’s performance measurements/benchmarking were required at different layers of the architecture and documentation in the form of white papers and wikis were published. Areas of measurement included SAN storage and VSAN performance for IOPS and latency. The end user experience was tested for duration of logins and application experience. Server performance was captured for speed ranging from a single server to multiple servers in a cluster. ● Virtualization platforms included VMware 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5. VSphere, VSAN and VDI using Horizon and Composer delivering Instant and Linked clones. ● Citrix Xen platform running XenServer 6.5, 7.x, XenApp 6.x, 7.x and XenDesktop 7.x● Equipment Platform○ Dell enterprise product line -PowerEdge rack servers and Hyper Converged Infrastructure. Storage was represented by Compellent and network switching used the Dell S6000. ○ Mobile Platform - Android, IOS and Win8/10. Devices demonstrated covered all mobile platforms. ● Testing and Benchmarking tool set.○ Crystal Diskmark, IOmeter, PowerShell (Microsoft), LoginVSI○ I/O analyzer (VMware), HCI bench (VMware), Logon Monitor (VMware)○ Diskspd (Microsoft)○ ESXtopWorking on performance testing with the newest Dell equipment is an exciting and educational experience. Test results can be calculated but often times surprise results appear. Verifying, retesting and publishing these results before the rest of the world is a wonderful accomplishment. Working with hardware, software configuration and VMware allows every skill set to be exercised and expanded.
