Violin Flash Array Validated for Citrix Ready VDI Capacity Program

Violin Memory, Inc. announced that its 6000 All Flash Array has been validated as part of the Citrix Ready VDI Capacity Program Verified for Citrix XenDesktop.

The Citrix Ready VDI Capacity program is designed to address the storage needs of customers who already have or are thinking about implementing VDI using XenDesktop.

The Citrix Ready VDI Capacity program helps guide customers with their VDI storage needs. The program enables Citrix storage partners to test their solutions against a turnkey ‘VDI Capacity’ test environment that contains the necessary compute resources to generate an 800-user reference XenDesktop deployment, and thus demonstrating the appropriate amount of storage performance and capacity with a cost-efficient design. Partners whose technology satisfies the test criteria validated as part of the Citrix Ready VDI Capacity Program Verified for 800 users.

“Violin Memory has satisfactorily completed the testing requirements to join the Citrix Ready VDI Capacity program,” said Greg Fox, director, Citrix Ready program. “Through this program, we are working with our storage partners to help provide our joint customers with guidance in choosing storage solutions for their XenDesktop VDI deployments. By taking part in the program, Violin is helping customers make informed product purchasing decisions.“
