An administrator is implementing a VDI solution. The workload will be a series of persistent desktops in a dedicated storage container within a four-node cluster.
Storage optimizations should be set on the dedicated storage container to give optimal performance including during a node failure event.
Which storage optimizations should the administrator set to meet the requirements?
For optimal performance in a VDI environment, enabling both compression and deduplication is ideal. Compression reduces the storage footprint by minimizing the size of data, and deduplication eliminates redundant copies of data, which is common in VDI environments where many desktops share the same data. This combination improves storage efficiency and performance. Erasure coding, while beneficial for fault tolerance, typically adds computational overhead which may not be desirable in a performance-sensitive VDI setup. Therefore, compression and deduplication together are the best options to meet the requirements.
C is the correct answer, https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2079-Citrix-Virtual-Apps-and-Desktops:top-nutanix-storage-configuration.html
'C' is correct.
• Nutanix recommends enabling inline compression unless otherwise advised. • Nutanix recommends disabling deduplication for all workloads except VDI. For mixed-workload Nutanix clusters, create a separate storage container for VDI workloads and enable deduplication on that storage container. https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=vSphere-Admin6-AOS-v6_6:vsp-cluster-configuration-vsphere-r.html
