New version of Login VSI – a popular testing software used to benchmark VDI solutions not only from VMware, for VMware View, but also for Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp, Microsoft Remote Desktop Services or any other Windows based hosted desktop solution. I have wrote about login VSI before, where I introduced it as a New benchmarking tool for VDI performance troubleshooting tool.
The new version of Login VSI 3.7 brings support for Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Office 2013 and Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. Login VSI 3.7 also extends and simplifies testing in non-English user environments (German, Japanese, Dutch…. )Finally, new timers allow fully customized user workloads to be analyzed in the same detail as the pre-built standard workloads.
The “Light” edition of Login VSI called “Express” is free and brings all the enhancements that are present in the “Pro”, but limited in functionality. You can click to enlarge.
Support for latest relevant technologies – The main focus of Login VSI 3.7 is to support the latest relevant technologies in the desktop virtualization market. Login VSI 3.7 introduces out-of-the-box support for simulating user workloads to test the performance of VDI and SBC environments based on Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Microsoft Office 2013. With this new version Login VSI also introduces support for Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
Extended multi-language support – Login VSI 3.7 also extends the multi-language capabilities of Login VSI. Login VSI 3.7 introduces new pre-configured language profiles for English, Japanese, German and Dutch. Login VSI Express 3.7, the free entry-level version of Login VSI, now supports non-English Windows OS and Microsoft Office versions (a feature previously only available in Login VSI Pro).
Improved custom (core) workload analysis – The core workload in Login VSI provides a pre-defined but open structure to create customized user workloads. In Login VSI 3.7 the core workload is extended with timers, allowing custom workloads to be analyzed in more detail than before.
“We see an increasing need in the market to test the performance of VDI and SBC environments. More and more companies are starting to realize that a good desktop performance is crucial for satisfied and productive employees” said Eric-Jan van Leeuwen, CEO of Login VSI B.V. “This new version of Login VSI will enable all organizations that are committed to an optimal virtual desktop performance, to test the impact of upgrading to the latest versions of all relevant Windows products”.
