Abstract

The presentation covers techniques to measure, visualize and further analyze disk workload for large-scale network boot for Windows. The workload includes both deployment and boot of Microsoft Windows for diskless clients using Microsoft iSCSI Software Target as an example. The techniques are broadly applicable to any block storage technology. The presentation also illustrates translation from workload analysis to software scalability opfization as well as underlying hardware configuration guidelines, including clusters.
