Good luck we've got about 100 virtual desktops deployed and are looking to do another 100 next summer. We've got a big IBM SAN and a half dozen hefty servers doing the processing.
How many compute nodes do you have? Coliver
Six right now. We're haven't gotten close to maxing then out yet. That being said these machines perform at the physical desktop level but they aren't persistent, yet, so every time someone logs in they get a new desktop.
That's often what you want with VDI. Pristine desktops every time.
Yes, we're working on getting persistent storage, not VMs, setup for staff. Then we're looking at doing OneDrive on student machines mounted via WebDAV.
If you are able to figure out how to mount OneDrive via Webdav automagically, I'd be interested in knowing how you do it.
Why would you want to do that? that opens that data store up to things like Crypto locker.
Um what? How is it not already by using the "normal" OneDrive client.
Because the normal one drive client tries to sync all the files in your one drive account down to your local machine. Generally this is not a good way to do things where non-persistent VDI is involved.

WTF? What is wrong with you people being extra stupid today.
I realize that.
That has nothing whatsoever to do with my statement to @Dashrender
