Hi Carl, Is there a tool that you can recommend for sizing storage for VDI deployments? Win10 or/and Win2016
Citrix’s VDI Handbook has some sizing info – https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/citrix-vdi-best-practices.html
There’s a VDI Calculator tool.
But in general, you first need to decide what type of machines you will be creating, how they are provisioned, and it’s pretty easy to do the math.
