VMware vSAN Cluster Sizing for Horizon View Desktop Replacement

Total Calculated IOPS for vSAN Cluster

Question

An architect is working on a physical desktop replacement using Horizon View.

The architect gathered this information from the customer: -> There are currently 500 physical desktops, all with traditional spinning hard drives.

-> Each desktop peaks at 75 IOPS multiple times during the day.

-> The average read/write ratio is 30% reads, 70% writes.

The architect decided to size the vSAN cluster to handle the workload using FTT=1 and Fault Tolerance Method of RAID-1

Using only the information provided, what are the total calculated IOPS required for the vSAN cluster?

A.

To calculate the total IOPS required for the vSAN cluster, we need to take into account the number of desktops, the peak IOPS per desktop, and the read/write ratio.

Given:

  • 500 physical desktops
  • Each desktop peaks at 75 IOPS multiple times during the day.
  • Average read/write ratio is 30% reads, 70% writes.

To calculate the total IOPS required for the vSAN cluster, we can use the following formula:

Total IOPS = (Number of desktops) x (Peak IOPS per desktop) x (Read/write ratio)

Substituting the values from the given information, we get:

Total IOPS = 500 x 75 x (0.3 + 0.7 x 2) Total IOPS = 500 x 75 x 1.7 Total IOPS = 63,750

So, the total calculated IOPS required for the vSAN cluster is 63,750. Therefore, the correct answer is option C: 63,750 IOPS.
