Nutanix End-User Computing Performance Impact Analysis
November 14, 2024
In this document, Nutanix describes the impact that changes in an end-user computing environment, like changing from Windows 10 to Windows 11 or upgrading an Office version, might have on the performance and user density of an EUC environment. Nutanix also provides insights on the performance impacts of changing vCPU configurations per virtual machine (VM).
When Nutanix used the Login Enterprise benchmark, they didn’t see a significant increase in overall CPU usage when increasing the vCPU count per virtual desktop. Increasing the vCPU count can have a bigger impact on the user density than the results in this document indicate. However, if you use multithread-aware applications in your virtual desktops, we recommend increasing the vCPU per desktop. These applications can use multiple CPU cores at once.
