Login PI

Over the last week I’ve had the opportunity to install Login PI within the Nutanix Ready lab. Let’s dig into the configuration, and some points I observed. The purpose of Nutanix Ready is to confirm that a software solution is capable of being operated on their platforms. This demonstrates compatibility and capacity.

The previous blog post explained the basics around using the Login PI RESTful API through Powershell. This blog post will build on that foundation to change the workload assigned to profiles based on a CSV file instead of assigning the same workload to each server.

For a large Login PI deployment a method was needed to change the workload on all profiles. The Login PI RESTfull API (API) easily enables this. To get started create a Powershell script. For this blogpost the Windows Powershell ISE was used.

Gartner Analysts Nathan Hill and Michael Silver recently published a research note titled “Define and Prioritize the User Experience to Succeed with VDI and DaaS.” The article is aimed at someone preparing to adopt or refresh a remote desktop solution, and calls out some critical learnings that I've also noticed in the years I've been in the industry:

In this blog I will explain how you can integrate the connector provided by Citrix in three easy steps. 

Coming off the successful release of Login PI 1.5 last January, today the Login PI team releases version 1.6, which includes some great new features, and some cosmetic improvements, to make integrating Login PI much easier and much faster.

Recently my colleague Jasper used Login PI to test the performance of a well-known cloud provider to see what their out of the box performance would look from the user experience point of view. Quickly we realized that, regardless of the hoster, If you want to move your desktops to the cloud it would entail a bit more work than simply selecting the cheapest desktop you can find + Microsoft Office and let it go from there.
