Case Study: Dachser achieves optimal virtualization performance with Login VSI

Most efficient virtualization solution with Login VSI

Dachser, a global logistics specialist with 17,500 employees, needed to identify the most efficient virtualization approach for its Citrix Terminal Server–based IT landscape. The IT team wanted to know whether virtualization would add value, which hypervisor and hardware/configuration would deliver optimal performance, how many users could be supported, and how application changes and patches would affect end-user sessions. To answer these questions Dachser selected Login VSI as the benchmarking and simulation solution.

Login VSI ran comprehensive test scenarios across hypervisors, hardware and application configurations to show which hypervisor performed best for Dachser and how configuration or application changes (for example Microsoft Office patches, Lotus Notes settings or virus scanner variations) affected user response times and bottlenecks. The results enabled Dachser to determine maximum user loads, validate capacity planning, avoid problems before production, and realize measurable benefits — including reduced rollout risk and considerable cost savings — using Login VSI’s benchmarking and simulation tools.
