On 29th of March Login Consultants announced the new Client Side Performance Testing module for Login VSI.

Included as an option in Login VSI Pro 3.6 the module allows full end-to-end measurement of the user experience in desktop virtualization environments.

This tool may fill the gap for a more realistic VDI environment benchmark that includes end-to-end performance metering.

VDI Client Side Testing module is still a beta and the final price has yet to be announced.

The new testing scenarios introduced includes:

• What if we increase the number of users on a single server- or pool of servers? What is the impact of responsiveness of protocol on client side?
• If we switch from Server Side to Client Side rendering, what is the impact on bandwidth consumption and therefore protocol responsiveness?
• What is the real effect of WAN accelerators on response time at the endpoint (no caching = realistic results)?
