Case Study: Vlaardingen City achieves 3X faster desktop startups and 100% ROI within 1 year with SanDisk

Vlaardingen City Council Empowers Workforce With Innovative High-Performance, Low-Cost Vdi

Vlaardingen City Council, which supports roughly 650 employees, needed a VDI solution that matched or exceeded physical workstation performance while simplifying administration and cutting hardware and support costs. Traditional disk‑based VDI options failed to meet the council’s performance and ROI requirements.

By deploying SanDisk Fusion ioMemory (ioDrive2) with VMware View, the council achieved 3x faster desktop startups and 6x faster application launches, supported 80 high‑performance desktops per vSphere server, and could provision 80 “business‑ready” desktops in 30 minutes. The rollout reduced supporting infrastructure by 20%, delivered 100% ROI within one year, and enabled a 50% savings on new workstation purchases.
