VDI capacity planning guidance

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) capacity planning guidance. Using historical hypervisor performance monitoring data stored in HDFS, we have analysed the performance of VDI services deployed on large clusters at a major international financial firm. By the end of the engagement that involved a full data analysis process - data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, model building, confirmatory data analysis - we created probabilistic utilization and QoS failure models. We also showed the viability of clustering - effectively categorizing - virtual machines/users by resource usage behaviour in the specific environment.
