A Montreal cybersecurity firm hosts 20 to 30 virtual desktops on a single storage server, with room to grow.
The situation
GoSecure, headquartered in Montreal, needed storage for a growing team working on virtual desktops.
What they did
It connected a 45Drives Storinator to its server cluster to host 20 to 30 VDI instances, with 10 to 15 users at a time.
The result
CPU and memory barely notice the load, there is room for 12 to 20 more users without an upgrade, and productivity went up. A second unit for Montreal is under consideration.
Why it matters
Virtual desktops live or die on storage. A right-sized server keeps them fast without a SAN.
